It stays shorter too, reaching only 3 to 4 feet tall, making it ideal for modern smaller gardens.

This means it is dense and full, making it really stand out, not sparse and thin, like more ordinary dogwoods can be. Not only are the twigs vibrantly colored in brilliant red all winter long, but the plant is naturally bushy and upright, so it produces far more new twigs from low-down on the plant. There are other red twig dogwoods available, but this special variety is a big leap forward. The Arctic Fire Red Twig Dogwood really lives up to its name, and brings exactly the bright coloring that is needed to brighten the winter garden. Evergreen shrubs don’t help much, since in soft winter light green can become gray, but strongly-colored twigs on shrubs and trees always stand out against brown earth or white snow. Especially in colder areas, with long periods of snow, our eyes crave some color to relieve the monotony. Winter can be a drab time of year, with the landscape in shades of gray – or monotone white when it snows. This plant is a great choice for the early planting of your new garden, bringing variety and color at a time of year when few other plants are very attractive. It has no serious pests or diseases and it is not normally eaten by deer. Water well during the first year or two, but after that it will be resistant to regular summer drought. It is an ideal choice if you have parts of the garden that are regularly wet. Plant the Arctic Fire Red Twig Dogwood in a sunny or lightly shaded place, in regular garden soil, or in wet soil.

Needs no special pruning to stay dense and compact.

In summer, it has oval green leaves that then turn deep red in fall, adding to the value of this plant As well as thriving in regular garden soil, it grows well in wet earth, so it is especially useful for landscaping around streams and ponds, or for planting in low-lying areas where water accumulates. It is hardy to minus 20 degrees, so it will grow almost anywhere cold, yet it also thrives in warm areas, so it will grow anywhere. This is a very simple and effective way to add color in winter, with a plant that is easy to grow, smaller in size, and very low-maintenance. It has twigs that are bright red, and hold that color throughout winter, contrasting with the bare earth or with snow.
