Garden Goods Direct | Red Twig Dogwood

The flowers of the Red Twig Dogwood give way to beautiful porcelain blue berries that are adored by birds. When the days begin to shorten and the temperatures begin to fall, beautiful tones of red and purple are displayed before the leaves drop. The best thing, It’s Deer Resistant. It grows to around 6 to 8 feet tall and is equally as wide. It flourishes in dry soils once established but can also tolerate soil that tends to be slower draining which makes it perfect for that low area of your garden. In summer, it has the appearance of just another green shrub after its white blooms disappear in May. When the days begin to shorten, and the temperatures begin to fall, beautiful tones of red and purple are displayed before the leaves drop. Red Twig Dogwood is hardy from Zones 3-8 which makes it a highly sought after native plant for Mid-Atlantic gardening enthusiasts.
