An ornamental shrub that is stunning in the landscape in the dead of wintertime. The bright red stems pop against a dark background like the edge of the woods, or even a white field of snow. Try some of these grouped together as border hedge.

• Fantastic winter color
• Drought tolerant
• Adaptable to cold & hot weather extremes

Add fiery red color to your landscape with this easy-to-grow privacy hedge.

The fiery red stems of this shrub stand out in any winter landscape. Unlike most shrubs, when the Red Twig Dogwood leaves fall to the ground, this tree is at its best.

Not sure where to use this exceptional performer? At 8 ft. tall and 8 ft. wide, the red twig is large enough for privacy screens or a brilliant hedge.

Plant in the full sun and you will have many winters filled with bright red stems.

This shrub is very drought tolerant and is able to withstand the coldest conditions anywhere in the U.S.

Bring the flaming red stems inside for floral arrangements or as decoration at those festive holiday dinners...or plant one outside a window to enjoy its carefree, spectacular form year-round.

This plant is extremely fast growing and in 2 to 3 years you won’t know how you lived without this delightfully different shrub as a part of your outdoor scenery.

Your Red Twig Dogwood can be planted any time of year!

It's Easy to Plant your Red Twig Dogwood
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Red Twig Dogwood. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Red Twig Dogwood gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Red Twig Dogwood again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.
