Arctic Fire® Red Twig Dogwood — Cornus stolonifera

Arctic Fire® Red Twig Dogwood (Cornus stolonifera 'Farrow') is the perfect compact-sized native red twig dogwood for smaller gardens — delivering all the four-season drama of its full-sized cousins in a tidy, well-behaved package. In winter, when the garden is at its most bare, Arctic Fire earns its name with blazing, fire-engine red stems that provide brilliant color and structure against snow or dormant landscapes. In summer, flat-topped clusters of small white flowers attract butterflies and pollinators, followed by white berries that birds love. Fall brings attractive red and burgundy foliage. A compact, dense native shrub that thrives in moist to wet soils and full to part sun, making it ideal for rain gardens, borders, and foundation plantings in smaller yards. Hardy to Zone 3.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low to Medium Maintenance. Cut one-third of the oldest stems to the ground each spring to maintain brightest stem color.
LANDSCAPE USES: Borders, Rain Gardens, Foundation Plantings, Wildlife Gardens, and Mass Plantings.

COMPANION PLANTS: Winterberry Holly, Little Henry Sweetspire, Native Grasses
