| Hi there, I would like to plant red osier dogwood seeds. When is the best time to do this and where would I buy these seeds? (newbie) Toronto, ON Thanks! |

| Seed is really not the best way to go. It will take some years to get good sized bushes and you are not guaranteed the vivid colours of the named cultivars. The red stemmed dog woods (which are cultivars of several different species) are really easy to grow from cuttings taken now. Try to find a named variety which will thrive in your area. Some also offer variegated summer foliage. If cash is an issue buy one good plant and propagate from that. The Shrubs Forum would be a good place to ask for names. |
