More Information

Description Don't dread winter - celebrate it, with the bold and cheerful red stems of Arctic Fire® Red red-twig dogwood (Cornus sericea)! This super durable native shrub looks rugged and handsome in the landscape all season, but come autumn, the leaves drop to reveal bright red stems that persist in the landscape all winter. It truly shines when surrounded by a blanket of fresh snow. Perfect for just about any landscape, this dogwood grows to half the height of most varieties, making it easy to fit just about anywhere. This shrub also does well in the shade! We absolutely love this and Arctic Fire Yellow dogwood planted in front of evergreens, the wall of your home, or anywhere they can be appreciated against a backdrop to really make their color pop. Details Botanical name: Cornus sericea 'Farrow'
Patent #: USPP 18,523
Common name: Red twig dogwood
Zone: 2 - 7
Sun exposure: Sun (6+ hours sun) to part-sun (4-6 hours sun)
Height x width: 3-5' tall x 3-5' wide
Flower color: White
Foliage color: Green
Season of Interest: Winter
Bloom time: Spring
Features: Winter interest, wet soils, suitable for slopes, proven winners, native, drought tolerant, deer resistant, cold tolerant
Uses: Accent, background, border, erosion control or embankment, foundation, hedge, massing, naturalizing, rain garden, slopes, specimen, waterside, woodland.
How To Grow Soil: Adaptable to most any level of soil moisture and pH. Can become stressed in extremely dry conditions, however.
Light: Sun/part sun/shade.  Will grow and survive in deep shade, but will not flower strongly, nor will its winter color be quite as vivid as if it gets some sun.
Water: Readily tolerates wet conditions and is often found growing on river banks and lakeshores in the wild. Established plants can tolerate some drought, but extreme drought may compromise aesthetics.
Spacing: 5-6' apart
Fertilizing: Supplemental fertilizer is not required. However, if you want faster growth, apply a granular rose or garden fertilizer in early spring, then again in early summer if desired.
Winterizing: No special care needed. A 2-3" layer of shredded bark mulch is beneficial. Stems can be cut for decorations and arrangements if desired.
Maintenance & Pruning: The best stem color on red-twig dogwoods appears on stems that are one or two years old. As stems mature, they develop corky, bark-like growth that obscures the color. As such, plants should be pruned yearly or every other year once they're established (3-4 years after planting).
You can do this in one of two ways: one, by cutting the entire plant back to small stumps in early spring (note that this method removes flower buds; it also will leave you with no coverage for several weeks as the plant recovers. The second method involves removing one-third of the oldest growth each spring by nipping it out at the base.

Red Twig Dogwood

I bought a quart size 5 years ago to plant in a shady moist spot of our This spot is usually a bit shady with some direct evening sun. Initially it struggled a bit, but it has made it through and, while I dont love the look of it during the year, it makes up for itself come fall/winter. Absolutely STUNNER in the yard. I have made it a project to prune the bush to keep only upright growers and, so far, it looks like it is going to be a stunner.

Arctic Fire Dogwood enjoyed by Deer

My three plants arrived in a timely manner -- each a different size. They enjoyed three days of soil, rain, and sun before the deer enjoyed them for dessert.

Hello Shannon,
We are so sorry to hear that your arctic fire dogwood plants were eaten by deer. While the arctic fire dogwood plant is deer resistant, no plant is truly deer-proof. Since they will eat anything if they're hungry enough. If you live in an area with heavy deer activity, we recommend using a liquid deer repellant to help protect your plants. As long as your plants are still within our 60 day guarantee you can email pictures to claims@greatgardenplants.com, making sure to put your order number and name in the subject line so that we may provide the best assistance possible.

Happy Gardening!
