Commonly known as red twig dogwood, this shrub is an upright-spreading, suckering shrub that grows in medium to wet soils in full sun to part shade. It is tolerant of a wide range of soil types. It produces white flowers followed by white fruit in late spring that is attractive to birds and butterflies. Pruning is required to maintain the red stems. Host for many larval butterfly species. Deer resistant.
Typically found in the wild on wet prairies and open ground along streams and lakes. Does well in medium to wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade although it prefers full sun. The cone-shaped white flower clusters bloom in June. May be trimmed to the ground in March and will still bloom on the new wood. Effective for erosion control. Attracts butterflies. Deer resistant.
A hardy deciduous holly. The red berries are spectacular in fall and winter and provide food for birds and other wildlife. Plants are not separated into males and females, so plant 3-5 shrubs to insure a good mix for fruit production. Easily grown in acidic, medium to wet soils in full sun to part shade. Deer resistant.
Nut is edible and attractive to wildlife. Likes at least half day of sun and good garden soil. A harbinger of spring when male catkins elongate 2-3 inches and release puffs of pollen. Excellent red, yellow, and orange fall color. Better chance of producing nuts if you have 3-5 plants. Best grown in moist, well-drained soil.
This rose prefers savannas or woodland edges where it gets at least a half-day of sun. Best flowering and disease resistance occur in full sun. Prefers medium to wet, well-drained soil. Pink flowers with yellow centers bloom in July. Fall color is red-orange with red rose hips. May be used as a climbing rose. Attracts butterflies and moths.
