Cornaceae
Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea' is a highly valued native ornamental shrub, prized for its spectacular bright yellow winter stems, which brighten snowy gardens and provide remarkable contrast in four-season landscapes. It develops a dense, spreading, and suckering shrub habit, ideal for informal hedges, naturalistic mass plantings, and stabilizing moist or riparian soils. Its deciduous, medium-green foliage turns yellow to reddish in autumn before leaf drop, extending its decorative appeal. Its discreet spring blooms are followed by white berries enjoyed by wildlife. Extremely hardy and perfectly adapted to Quebec's conditions, Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea' is easy to cultivate, tolerates waterlogged soils, and is an excellent choice for combining biodiversity, structure, and color throughout the year.
