Living in Toronto close to lake. Very sandy soil! :) Love easy-to-care-for perennials, seasonal containers and herb gardens.

Help me identify what type of dogwood this is. Looking for advice as to when and how to prune so it maintains its fullness.

@greenfinger14 oh that’s good! Mine has tiny white flowers when it blooms. Not a lot though. I find it a hard one to prune. The branches are so spindly and fork out in all ways. 🙏😀

I cut the sticky out branches back so it’s not taking over the space of other plants

Don’t cut the big main stems just the sticky out ones and it will be easier to manage that’s what i do 😊
