Set Your Winter Landscape Ablaze in Fire-Red Color

Why Red Twig Dogwood Shrub?

It's a shrub that sparks conversation...with fantastic winter color, weather adaptability, and drought tolerance, the Red Twig Dogwood is truly one-of-a-kind.

In spring, you get attractive white flowers. Summer brings a well-shaped shrub with beautiful green leaves. And finally, fall starts warming up with red fall foliage. Come winter, the leaves drop, exposing the Red Twig's amazing bright red bark, living up to its name.

Use the Red Twig Dogwood as a privacy screen or even as a foundation hedge. It makes an attractive large shrub all by itself but is definitely most dramatic when several are planted together. Thriving in full sun or shade (but getting the most vibrant color with more sun), the Red Twig is a hardy, thriving selection that's second to none.

It's a hardy, drought-tolerant shrub that also does well in soggy areas. It's not fussy about soil and withstands the coldest conditions, anywhere in the country. You can even 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.

Healthy!

Shipping was quick and the shrubs were healthy and ready to grow. They were a lot smaller than I expected but have grown 3x the size in just a few months. Can’t wait for them to get really big!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Claire! Thank you so much for your feedback. As a nursery, we grow and ship our plants with long-term success in mind. Even if they arrive smaller than expected, they are healthy, well-rooted, and ready to thrive once planted. We are so glad to hear your shrubs took off. It is always exciting to see that kind of growth in just a few months. The Red Twig Dogwood only gets more beautiful as it matures, especially once those vibrant stems show off in winter. We cannot wait for you to see it at full size.
