Growing & Maintenance Tips for Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea'

Vigorous growing shrub tolerating many soil and light conditions. Very fibrous root system aids in control of soil erosion. Since young stems are the most colourful, pruning stems three or more years old to the ground will provide good winter colour.
