Summary
Autumn Gold flowering dogwood is an outstanding selection with two notable characteristics that make it quite unique; golden-yellow fall foliage color and winter twigs that range from yellow to orange. Creamy-white flowering bracts in spring and glossy crimson fruit in fall add significantly to the quality of this cultivar. Autumn Gold flowering dogwood prefers well-drained, acidic soils and partial shade for the most abundant flowering and good health. Under these conditions, it typically reaches 15-25’ tall. This cultivar combines nicely with Callicarpa americana, Xanthorhiza simplicissima, Lindera benzoin, and a wide range of herbaceous perennials.
