Red-Twig Dogwood
Cornus sericea
Cornus sericea is a deciduous shrub native to North America, commonly known as red osier dogwood or red twig dogwood. It typically grows 6 to 9 feet tall and wide, with bright red twigs that add winter interest to the landscape. In the spring, it produces clusters of small white flowers, followed by small white berries that are attractive to birds. The leaves are simple, ovate, and dark green in summer, turning purplish-red in the fall. Cornus sericea is a popular shrub for erosion control and is also used in native plantings, rain gardens, and as a specimen plant in the landscape. It prefers moist, well-drained soils and full sun to part shade.
