Cornus sericea 'Farrow' [sold as Arctic Fire™]

Dwarf Red Twig Redosier Dogwood

This plant has attractive dark red twigs all year round, but the color is especially prominent in winter. Deer resistant. Grows well in a variety of situations, including wet soil. Easy to transplant. Relatively trouble-free. A three-year pruning cycle improves form, vigor, and winter stem color effect. Cutting all stems 6-12" from ground in late winter has similar effect. Best in mass plantings. Excellent for winter color. Leaf blights and twig cankers can be problematic.
