First Editions® Velvet Dusk™ Dogwood offers striking four-season appeal with dark purple foliage emerging in spring that transitions to dark green in the summer months, accented by unique velvety gray undersides. Fall brings the return of purple leaves. Upright and rounded at 5–7' tall and wide, it produces white flowers in spring and displays vibrant red stems in winter. Bred in the Netherlands, this hardy shrub thrives in Zones 3–7, tolerates wet soils, and grows well in full sun to part shade. Low-maintenance and adaptable, Velvet Dusk™ is perfect for hedges, screens, or background plantings.
