'Hedgerows Gold' was introduced into commerce by Hedgerows Nursery in McMinneville, Oregon. Leaves turn interesting shades of pink to red in autumn.

This is a suckering shrub that typically matures to 5-8’ tall and as wide. ‘Hedgerows Gold’ is a redtwig dogwood that is primarily grown for its bold variegated foliage and its dark red winter stems. Specific epithet from Latin means silky in reference to the hairs present on young twigs and upper leaf surfaces. Cornus is also the Latin name for cornelian cherry. Genus name comes from the Latin word cornu meaning horn in probable reference to the strength and density of the wood. Synonymous with and formerly known as Cornus stolonifera. Red stems somewhat resemble the reddish stems of some osier willows, hence the common name of red osier dogwood. Fruit is quite attractive to birds and is generally considered to have as much if not more ornamental interest than the flowers. Flowers give way to clusters of whitish (sometimes with a bluish tinge) drupes in summer. Tiny, fragrant, white flowers appear in flat-topped clusters (cymes to 2.5” diameter) in late spring, with sparse, intermittent, additional flowering sometimes continuing into summer. Reddish stems turn bright red in winter and are particularly showy against a snowy backdrop. Ovate to lanceolate, medium to dark green leaves (2-5” long) acquire interesting shades of red to orange eventually fading to purple in autumn. With the exception of the lower midwest and deep South, this species is native to much of North America where it is typically found growing in wet swampy areas, wetland margins or along lakes and rivers. Cornus sericea, commonly known as red twig dogwood or red osier dogwood, is an upright-spreading, suckering shrub that typically grows in the absence of pruning to 6-9’ tall with a slightly larger spread.
