Flowering Dogwood shrubs typically bloom on last year's stems (old wood) but really do best with renewal pruning to remove the oldest, least colorful stems so younger and more vibrantly-colored stems can take their place. Don’t forget to snip some of these colorful stems for your indoor and outdoor container decorations. Say a quick hello to the bees and butterflies that visit your spring flowers, and enjoy some bird-watching in the fall when the berries arrive! There will be something new every season in your landscape!

Fast and easy to grow, the Dogwood shrub is visually striking all year round! Do you have a favorite I mentioned here or already have in your garden? Let me know down in the comments!
