This shrub will add a bright spot of glowing red color to your landscape during the cold, winter months. The stems turn bright red in the winter and look fabulous against the white snow. The stems can be cut to create gorgeous outdoor planters and holiday decorations.

Arctic Fire Dogwood is native to North America. Clusters of white flowers form on last year’s stem in the spring. The flowers produce white berries that are quickly eaten by birds soon after ripening. The flowers are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds and this shrub is deer resistant.

Arctic Fire Red Twig Dogwood Care

Arctic Fire Red Twig Dogwood can be grown in partial or fun sun conditions in USDA hardiness zones 2 through 7. This shrub grows to be 3 to 5 feet in height and width at maturity in an upright form. This shrub tolerates wet soils so it can be planted in a low spot in your landscape or a rain garden. It can be used to create a short hedge, as a specimen plant, in a perennial garden or as a container plant. Plant this shrub in a location where you’ll often see it’s bright red stems during the dull days of winter.

Pruning Arctic Fire Red Twig Dogwood should be done in the fall. However, pruning and maintenance is not required. Newer stems exhibit brighter colors during the winter months. So cut older stems to the ground in the fall for a lovelier winter display. Trim back less than 25 percent of the stems if you do decide to prune.

Arctic Fire Red Twig Dogwood Spacing

Space multiple Arctic Fire Dogwood plants 4 feet apart on center to form a hedge. Plant at least 5 feet apart if space between the plants is desired.
