Yellow Twig Dogwood
Yellow twig dogwood is a medium sized shrub that is grown for its bright yellow stems, which are most visible in winter after the leaves have fallen off.
During the summer, it has medium green leaves and clusters of small white flowers. The flowers turn into white berries later in the summer, which attract birds.
Because this shrub naturally grows at the edges of streams, lakes, ponds, and wetlands, it grows best in a location where it will receive regular moisture.
