Red twig dogwood shrubs do the best when they are planted in an area that receives full sunlight but they can tolerate partial shade. Prune them before. Dry them over the winter first to prevent them from taking root in. Dip the bottom of the cutting the slanted cut and at least two leaf nodes in rooting hormone.

It is not picky about soil and will thrive even in clay or in boggy conditions. Red dogwood is easily propagated from the pruned cuttings. These plants are not tolerant to long periods of dry soil and they require regular and thorough watering. Use pruned branches for garden stakes.

Yellowish white flowers are followed by small blue berries. As the plant matures some renewal pruning should be done. Create a rooting mixture by combining equal parts peat moss and sand. The primary goal of pruning red twig dogwoods is to remove the old stems that no longer show good winter color.
