Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea' is a striking cultivar of redtwig dogwood, a deciduous, suckering shrub native to most of North America. Much like 'Budd's Yellow,' instead of the red bark that redtwig dogwood is named for, 'Flaviramea' is instead a yellowtwig cultivar, with bright lemon yellow bark in place of the typical maroon or brick red color. Growing to approximately 5-6' tall and wide, this cultivar represents a more compact but equally show yellowtwig dogwood, perfect for a variety of fall and winter landscapes. And if you're looking for spring and summer appeal too, Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea' is a great choice here too! Bright green foliage through the spring and summer contrasts well against the plant's eye-catching yellow stems, and clusters of fragrant white flowers in spring eventually turn to showy white or blue berries later in the summer, attracting a variety of pollinators, birds, and other wildlife.

Cornus sericea is easy to grow and tolerant of poor soils, wet areas, and even the coldest climates, though it performs best in full sun to partial shade and medium-wet soils. Great for massing, this selection has good bronzey-red or maroon fall foliage, but may need to be trimmed yearly to remove old growth, as new growth has the best winter color. If instead choosing to naturalize, new suckering growth will have the brighter yellow colors, but will only add to the plants attractively dense behavior. 'Flaviramea' makes for an excellent hedge, screen or mass planting, and plants grow great in wet areas and wetland restoration projects.
