Dogwood, Firedance

Firedance™ is similar to 'Isanti' but has a much more compact, uniform habit. Our trials also show Firedance™ has fewer problems than the species. White flowers in spring are followed by pretty white berries that are attractive to birds. The foliage turns a nice red-purple color in fall followed by red stems in winter, giving multi-season interest. It is tolerant of moist conditions, is suitable for rain gardens and good on slopes to hold soil in place. Discovered by Terry Schwartz of Bailey Nurseries.
