Variegated Red Twig Dogwood

Nothing livens up a garden quite like a few flowering shrubs. Fitting perfectly between bed plants and trees, they let you increase variety and create a shape and texture that guides attention to where you want it. Whether youÕre creating a cosy space around your patio or highlighting the stature of your favorite tree, shrubs give you a simple and attractive way to do it. Unfortunately many of the most popular ones are vulnerable to cold winters, so if you live further north your choice is restricted, but if you opt for the dogwood that wonÕt be a problem. As hardy as it is beautiful, this plant will brighten late spring and early summer with a host of attractive white flower clusters then attract birds with its copious berries in fall. ItÕs a great way to bring life and color to your garden.
