Winter beauty!

Useful for mass plantings, hedges, specimens, rain gardens, and mixed borders; good for cuts and winter containers.

Native to North America.

Tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions; one of the most shade-tolerant shrubs.

Deer resistant.

Space a minimum of 5' apart from each other (if planting multiple Red Twig Dogwoods).

Care

Red Twig Dogwood Care

Provide full sun or partial sun. Too little light will cause growth issues.

Fertilization is suggested, especially if soil is poor. Our slow release fertilizer is a great option.

We suggest pruning 2-3 times throughout the season (after established) to encourage a dense, well branched and full-bodied plant; avoid cutting into thick stems.

Prune 1/3 of all the branches to the ground in late winter.

Water regularly, especially after planting prior to establishment. Attempt to keep soil moist, but not wet. It's suggested to place 2"-3" of mulch under this plant to help retain a light degree of ground moisture and to prevent the growth of weeds around the base.

Not tolerant of high heat and humidity.

Arctic Fire Red Twig Dogwood

It is too early for me to give an honest review. I just received the plant on Thursday. The bush isn't as full as I thought it would be. Leaves are just now budding out. I am hoping by summers end I see more blooms and buds.

Thanks so much for your feedback, A. Roarty! We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Arctic Fire Dogwood is a beautiful choice, and what you’re seeing now is totally expected—this variety leafs out a bit later than others and takes a little time to wake up in spring. The buds you’re seeing are a great sign, and with a bit of sun and care, it should start to fill in nicely as the season progresses. We're always here if you'd like help tracking its progress or have any questions along the way.
