Cornus stolonifera

The Red Twig Dogwood is native to most of the northern United States and Canada. Most varieties are hardy to USDA zone 3. It prefers full sun but will tolerate partial shade as well. Red Twigs grow best in moist, humus soil.

Red Twig Dogwoods form multi-stemmed shrubs which can grow to 15 feet.
The white blooms appear in the Spring.

-

The white berries appear in late Summer and provide a treat for the birds.

In the Fall, the foliage turns to a deep crimson red.

-

During the Winter, after the leaves drop, the stems turn bright red, creating a dramatic silouette in the garden!
