Description
A must have landscape plant where in snows, the Red Osier Dogwood is a native shrub treasured for its upright bright red twigs that will set a snow-white landscape on fire. But the fine attributes don’t stop there. In late spring to early summer, abundant flat-topped clusters of white flowers stand out beautifully against the deep green foliage. Following the flowers are clusters of white, pearl-like berries the birds will thank you for. Fall brings interesting shades of orange and red leaves that eventually turn to purple before dropping to expose the colorful stems. A four-season beauty that deserves a spot in every landscape where it will grow (USDA Zones 4-8a).
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 6 to 10 feet tall and equally as wide, the Red Osier Dogwood is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings or hedges in sunny to partially shaded landscape and woodland borders. because it tolerates a consistently moist soil it is perfect for those areas where the soil just doesn’t want to dry out, A fine addition to native gardens, white or red theme gardens, bird and wildlife gardens and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 6 to 7 feet apart for hedge; 14 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
The Red Osier Dogwood is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained to boggy soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Appreciates some shade or filtered sunduring the afternoon in hot and humid climates. Very low maintenance when left alone and we’ve seen no serious insect or disease problems.
Although pruning is not necessary, many folks choose to remove about 25 percent of the oldest stems in late winter or early spring of each year to encourage growth of new stems which will display the brightest red color. Alternatively, every 2 to 3 years all stems can be cut back to 8 inches above the ground for total renewal.
Plant Long & Prosper!
