To encourage bright red stems hard prune one third of oldest stems annually in late winter pruning time. Use the red twig dogwood as a privacy screen or even as a foundation hedge. Red twig dogwood will brighten your winter landscaping with its bright red branches. In summer the variegated foliage of red twig dogwood cultivars such as elegantissima and arctic sun sparkles against dark leaved shrubs such as hollies ilex spp and viburnums viburnum spp.

Red twig dogwood shrubs do the best when they are planted in an area that receives full sunlight but they can tolerate partial shade. Not only do the stems provide visual interest outdoors but they also make excellent cuttings for seasonal arrangements. These plants are not tolerant to long periods of dry soil and they require regular and thorough watering. The soil should be well draining rich in humus and moist.

Late winter to early spring. Water deeply regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system. And finally fall starts warming up with red fall foliage. Come winter the leaves drop exposing the red twig s amazing bright red bark living up to its name.
