Dogwood - Prairiefire
Dogwood - Prairie Fire, Cornus alba 'Prairie Fire', is an attractive multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with reddish foliage that emerges gold in spring, and turns a soft yellow in summer. The pointy leaves add an interesting texture to this shrub and puts on an outstanding red show in the fall. In late spring clusters of creamy white flowers appear at the ends of the branches. ‘Prairie Fire’ produces white berries in midsummer. This dogwood adds color in the winter with its tomato-orange branches that are extremely showy and brightens up a drab landscape! This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and it can be pruned at anytime; use as a hedge, accent, or in mass plantings. Since ‘Prairie Fire’ tends to fill out right to the ground, it doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front.
