Description
The red twigs shine against the winter snow, and in the springtime, they create a lovely contrast of fresh greenery and white florals, which expand into flat clusters. In the late summer, the red osier dogwood produces blue-white drupes that are small and similar to cherry with a tiny pit inside. Red osier dogwood thickets attract birds such as warblers, robins, and bluebirds, while the flower nectars attract orange butterflies. Many birds and small mammals have been found to use the bush as shelter.
While the red osier dogwood does well in most soils and can adapt quickly and easily, it thrives best in wet, well-drained environments. This sturdy bush can withstand winter temperatures and quickly grow with slow horizontal growth. Find a sunny patch or at least an area that gets up to six hours of constant sun to plant, and be sure to trim down any overly excited sprigs to ensure ground control. The red osier dogwood needs to be pruned once every two years by simply removing the oldest stems to allow new growth.
It can be transplanted with ease and found at most local nurseries or garden centers. The red osier dogwood is a lovely addition to home gardens providing excellent curb appeal and an elegant option for birdwatchers and more.
