Dogwood Siberian Pearls

‘Siberian Pearls’ is noted for its compact size, profuse flowering/fruiting and bright red twigs in winter. It is a multi-stemmed, suckering, deciduous shrub that typically grows 3-4’ tall on erect, usually unbranched stems. Tiny, yellowish-white flowers appear in flat-topped clusters (to 2.5” diameter) in late spring, with sparse, intermittent, additional flowering sometimes continuing into summer. Flowers give way to clusters of white, pearl-like drupes in summer. Fruit of this cultivar is abundant and is generally considered to have more ornamental interest than the flowers. Fruiting stems are attractive in floral arrangements. Fruit is also attractive to birds. Fall colour is variable, but foliage may turn attractive shades of purple-red. Twigs turn bright red in winter.
