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.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
