Redosier Dogwood

This bush is called an ARCTIC FIRE™ dogwood because it has red stems that are attractive against a background of snow in winter time.

ARCTIC FIRE™ dogwood is a dwarf cultivar of the native redosier dogwood that is grown for its showy red winter stems. It lacks the stoloniferous (spreading) habit of the species. Clusters of small white flowers in spring are followed by white fruits in summer. Renewal or rejuvenation pruning in early spring/late winter encourages growth of new stems, which have the best color.

Members of the genus Cornus, commonly known as dogwoods, are welcome in the home garden for their multi-season interest -- be it flowers, fruit, foliage, and/or bark -- and their range of forms from small trees to suckering shrubs. The dominant display, however, varies among the species.

Dogwoods are native to cooler temperate areas of North America and Asia. The genus includes 45-60 species, divided into subgenera about which taxonomists disagree. The Chicago Botanic Garden's collection includes almost 100 varieties of dogwood from 20 species (7 of which are native) and over 2,400 plants.
