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!

Since ‘Prairie Fire’ tends to fill out right to the ground, it doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front.
