Details: Elegant structure paired with unbelievable color makes Golden Shadows® pagoda dogwood an ideal candidate for a spot of honor in your landscape. Its naturally horizontal branching habit gives it a strong but not overwhelming year-round presence, complemented by gloriously variegated leaves; bright yellow with a splotch of emerald green in the center, taking on pink tones on the new growth in cool weather. Spring sees the plant graced with lacy white blooms across the canopy. Beneath all this beauty lies a tough North American native that holds up to many difficult conditions, especially noteworthy for its ability to thrive in light shade and bring color to otherwise dim sites.

Growing Tips: Thrives in light shade, though it tolerates a range of conditions. Hardy in USDA zones 3–8; matures to 10–12 ft tall and wide. Pruning is rarely needed but may be shaped lightly after flowering. Apply a granular fertilizer in the spring. Works beautifully as a specimen tree, near a patio, or as a focal point in a shaded mixed shrub border.
