The common name for this plant is Pucker Up! Red Twig Dogwood and the botanical name is Pucker Up! Cornus stolonifera 'Neil Z'. This plant is salt tolerant, which is perfect for planting next to sidewalks, driveways and streets. The Pucker Up! Red Twig Dogwood is deciduous, meaning that the leaves fall off each winter, and come back in the spring. There are white colored flowers that bloom during spring. The flowers bloom on old wood, which mean the flower buds are grown on branches grown the prior year. While no plants are truly deer proof, these plants are deer resistant.

In garden planters, use this in the thriller role. Those are plants with drama and that add height or a vertical element to the combination. These are typically in the center or the back of the container. Consider growing these in garden planters or containers for added flexibility on locations limited on space or sunlight. Great for cut flower arrangements or bouquets. Stays short and perfect as a border plant, which are perfect placed along the edge of a garden bed or path. Fantastic as a mass planting, which is a method of filling in a landscape area with flower groupings of one or more kinds of plants. This is typically done to reduce maintenance by minimizing weeds or to create drama by drawing attention to the area. The Pucker Up! Red Twig Dogwood typically grows 3-4 feet tall, and 3-4 feet wide. For best plant health and results, space these plants 4-5 feet apart, center on center. The growth habit is upright. The Pucker Up! Red Twig Dogwood is winter hardy & summer tolerant in growing zones 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b.
