Peters Choice Dogwood - Cornus sericea 'Peter's Choice'
Peter's Choice Dogwood is a striking ornamental shrub prized for its vibrant red stems that intensify in winter, creating dramatic color in the landscape when other plants fade. This cultivar of Cornus sericea reaches 6-8 feet tall and thrives in moist, well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade exposure. Its white spring flowers give way to white berries that attract wildlife, while deciduous foliage turns burgundy in fall before dropping. Hardy in zones 4-9, Peter's Choice tolerates wet conditions and poor soils better than many alternatives, making it excellent for rain gardens, streamside plantings, or mixed borders. Prune annually in late winter to encourage vigorous new stem growth and maintain peak winter color display.
