Benefits of Planting Red Osier Dogwood in Your Landscape

The Red Osier Dogwood is a fast-growing shrub enjoyed every month of the year. The twigs shine against the winter snow and, in the springtime, create a lovely contrast of fresh greenery and white florals, which expand into flat clusters. In the late summer, the shrub produces blue-white drupes that are small and similar to a cherry with a tiny pit inside. The shrub thickets attract birds such as warblers, robins, and bluebirds, while the flower nectars attract orange butterflies. Many birds and small mammals have also used the bush as shelter. 

How to Care for Red Osier Dogwood for Year-Round Beauty 


While 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 laterally with slow horizontal growth. Find a sunny patch or at least an area with up to six hours of constant sun to plant and trim down any overly excited sprigs to ensure ground control. The shrub only needs to be pruned once every one to two years by removing the oldest stems to allow new growth. 


Easily maintained, Red Osier Dogwood is perfect for gardeners of any skill level and will thrive well in most gardens, parks, or landscapes. It can be easily transplanted and located at most regional nurseries or garden centers. The shrub is a lovely addition to home gardens, providing excellent curb appeal and an elegant option for birdwatchers.

Bloom/Foliage Color

White

Plant bare-root shrubs during the more excellent spring or fall months, from November through April. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root system and slightly more profound than its height. Position the shrub so that the top of the roots is level with the ground, and put back the soil dug over the roots. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, ensuring the mulch does not touch the shrub's stem. Water regularly, especially during the first year, to establish strong roots. Prune shrubs as needed to promote healthy growth. In the spring, fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer suited to the specific needs of the shrub.
