The Red Twig Dogwood (Cornus sericea) also known as Red Osier Dogwood, is a beautiful native shrub that adds year-round interest to any landscape. Its vibrant red stems provide striking color in the winter, while in late spring, it blooms with creamy white flowers followed by blue-purple berries in the fall. This hardy shrub thrives in moist, well-drained soils, making it ideal for rain gardens, borders, or erosion control. Beyond its beauty, Red Twig Dogwood is also wildlife-friendly, offering shelter and food for birds, especially during the winter months when its berries become a valuable resource. A sustainable, low-maintenance choice, it supports local ecosystems while enhancing your garden.
