Greetings from Charlottesville!



"'Firedance' dogwood packs a lot of pleasing attributes into one, small package: It's ultra-hardy, has a compact habit, bears stunning fall color, shows off bright red stems in winter, and the cultivar has great disease resistance. Plus, it doesn't mind wet ground, so it's perfect for rain gardens or at the end of a downspout.

Tough selection for tough sites!
