About Dahoon
Dahoon is a lovely native plant that brings real joy to your garden. Birds absolutely love its bright red berries that stay on the branches well into winter, giving cardinals and cedar waxwings a feast when food is scarce. The glossy green leaves are attractive year-round, and the plant has a naturally graceful shape that looks good in any landscape. It's simply a pleasure to watch wildlife visit throughout the seasons.
This plant is wonderfully easy to grow once established. It does best in spots where it gets decent moisture and isn't too dry. Plant it in a location where it has room to spread naturally, and let it grow at its own pace. Dahoon is tough and forgiving, making it perfect for gardeners who want to support their local wildlife without fussing. You'll love having this one in your yard.
