Cornus sericea f. 'Baileyi' (Red Twig Dogwood)

Cornus sericea f. baileyi – Red Twig Dogwood

A hardy, upright-spreading native shrub prized for its vibrant red stems that provide striking winter color in the landscape. Naturally found along wetlands, streams, and lake edges across North America, this dogwood thrives in moist soils but adapts well to average garden conditions. Its white spring flowers support pollinators, followed by white berries enjoyed by wildlife. Excellent for hedges, naturalized plantings, erosion control, or as a bold winter accent. Deer resistant and low maintenance, especially when left unpruned for full form and color.
