Alleman's Compact Dogwood

Cornus stolonifera 'alleman's compact'

Winter stem color above

Similar to Red osier and Cardinal, but with a deeper wine-red winter color and as the title implies, a more compact shrub. This is a beautiful four-season, upright shrub that is covered with white blossoms in May, pleasant green foliage in summer, then giving way to bright red berries in the fall coupled with brilliant red foliage, followed by very attractive and eye catching red colored stems in winter that are really set off by a snow cover.

This is an excellent plant for massing in large areas, and because of it's very interesting stem color, it is also suitable for shrub borders.

Also an effective bank cover since the fibrous root system holds soil quite well.
 

Good plant for wildlife.

Size at Maturity: 2-4 ft without pruning.

Zones 3-9

Space 4-6' apart

Container grown in gallon pots.  Shipped bare to semi-bare root depending on season.
