Cornus sericea ‘Farrow’ is a compact, deciduous shrub featuring bright red winter stems, white spring flowers, and fall foliage that turns shades of purple. It is a dwarf, non-suckering cultivar. Produces clusters of showy, inedible, creamy-white berries in late summer. Excellent when massed as a low hedge, screen, border, or bank stabilizer for erosion control. Best in consistent moisture. It can tolerate wet, boggy, or swampy conditions where other shrubs might fail. It is highly adaptable to soil conditions; thrives in rich, clay, or wet soils. Highly shade tolerant; thrives in full sun to partial shade. Full sun yields the brightest winter stem color. Deer resistant and rabbit resistant. Verticillium wilt resistant. Cold hardy to -40°F.
