Cayenne Dogwood (Cornus amomum 'Cayenne') is a deciduous shrub that typically grows to a height of 6 to 8 feet with a similar spread. It features glossy green leaves that turn vibrant shades of red and purple in the fall, providing seasonal interest. One of its standout characteristics is the bright red twigs, which remain colorful throughout the winter months. In the spring, the plant produces clusters of small white flowers, followed by dark berries that can attract local wildlife. Cayenne Dogwood is adaptable to a variety of soil types and thrives in both partial and full sun environments. It requires minimal maintenance, making it a practical choice for landscaping projects where year-round visual appeal and ease of care are important.
