The Red Twig Dogwood is a shrub native to North America. It grows quickly and is very ornamental, offering year-round interest. Its small, clustering, and fragrant spring flowers attract bees and butterflies, while birds enjoy the white-blueish berries in the summer. In the fall, the leaves transform into vibrant colors of red, orange, and purple. The shrub is particularly noted for its striking red branches in winter, which become increasingly vivid and provide stunning contrast against the snowy backdrop. Additionally, the Red Twig Dogwood thrives in average garden conditions, often found in moist or swampy areas, and is commonly used along riverbanks to prevent erosion and support waterbird habitats.
