Cornus alba ‘Golden Prairie Fire’ is a remarkable ornamental shrub known for its luminous golden foliage and intense red stems in winter, offering spectacular four-season decorative interest. It develops a dense, well-branched shrubby habit, ideal for borders, informal hedges, and contemporary or naturalistic landscape designs. Its bright golden yellow deciduous foliage brightens the garden from spring to summer, then transitions to warmer tones in autumn. In winter, its vibrant red stems take over and create a striking contrast with the snow. Very hardy and perfectly adapted to Quebec conditions, Cornus alba ‘Golden Prairie Fire’ is easy to grow, tolerates cool to moist soils, and is an excellent choice for structuring the garden while providing color and dynamism all year round.
