Red Osier Dogwood

Prohibited to FL.

(Cornus sericea) An ideal hedge plant, the red twig dogwood grows from 6-10 feet . It is a suckering, spreading shrub that should be planted 3-4 feet apart to make a thick hedge. It has white flowers and blue berries favored by the birds. The foliage turns bright red in the autumn. The branches are a striking red in winter after the foliage drops. It is not fussy but likes damp locations best. For the best winter color we suggest that you prune hard every couple of years, keeping the height to under 6 feet.
