This shrub will provide interest in your garden 365 days a year. The bare branches turn scarlet red during the winter months, white flowers blossom at the end of old wood in late spring, the dark green glossy quilted looking foliage adds summer interest, dark blue berries form in late summer and the leaves turn a pretty burgundy shade before falling off in the fall. It’s a plant that will provide year-round interest in your landscape.

Pucker Up! Red Twig Dogwood can be used in mass plantings, to create hedges or screen out unsightly views, in perennial, shrub or mixed borders and as a container plant. It’s a perfect choice to add a focal point in your garden, especially during the winter months. This fast-growing native North American species reaches 3 to 4 feet tall and wide at maturity.

Pucker Up! Red Twig Dogwood Care

Plant Pucker Up! Red Twig Dogwood in a partial to full sun location in USDA hardiness zones 3 to 8. It can thrive in either dry or wet conditions in any soil type. It’s tolerant of salt and urban pollution plus it is deer resistant. Plant it in a location where you’ll be apt to see it from inside your home or along a frequently used walkway to provide the best opportunity to view its stunning red branches against winter snow or another neutral background. Harvest a few branches to add interest to indoor or outdoor winter containers.

Pucker Up! Red Twig Dogwood Spacing

Plant multiple species of this upright growing shrub 4 to 5 feet apart on center. This plant is low maintenance but may occasionally sprout suckers. Remove them if spreading is not desired.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty whether you’re new or an expert.

Examples would be hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, disease, insects & many other factors. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all the unknowns and will replace your plant if it moves on to the plant afterlife.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant purchase. We will cover 100% of the price of the plant but the warranty does not cover shipping cost. Simply let us know if your plant has died within one year of receiving it and we’ll get you a new one shipped out.

Time of Order:

  • Is the plant at the nursery ready to ship.
    • The plants from the South will naturally be ready sooner than the plants from the North (If you have questions or concerns about when a plant will ship please email us at info@plantaddicts.com)

Summer

  • If there is extreme heat we’ll delay shipping.  
    • We’ll have to review what areas the plants are traveling through along with your location

Fall into Winter

  • We’ll ship all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

  • Get your order in now to reserve you plants for Spring planting!


Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an email with tracking information. Depending on the above criteria we’ll ship your plant(s) towards beginning of the following week from your order. We put together this helpful guide of what to do when you receive your plants in the mail.

It is important to know that all of our plants are clearly labeled for which growing zones the plant can survive in. The plants are thoroughly trialed and tested in every growing zone before we state the plant can grow in a zone. Again, our #1 priority is to ship the plants to you healthy and ready to thrive in your location. So we will do everything in our power to do so.
