Description
For a striking and rapid hedge solution, explore the Bailey Red Twigged Dogwood (Cornus sericea 'Baileyi'). With vibrant flame-red winter stems, this cultivar adds captivating winter interest to your landscape, while its compact form distinguishes it from the native Redosier. Boasting lush green foliage in spring and summer, the plant transforms into a deep Cabernet wine hue in the fall.
This fast-growing shrub achieves its mature height and spread within a few years, creating a visually appealing backdrop. Beyond its winter appeal, Bailey Red Twigged Dogwood showcases flat-topped, milky-white spring flowers attracting butterflies and transitioning into porcelain-blue berries in late summer. The shrub becomes a haven for songbirds, particularly American Goldfinches, making it an all-season attraction.
In full sun, the young stems glow in a vibrant fire-engine red, providing a stunning contrast against winter snow. The Bailey Red Twigged Dogwood promises a remarkable winter display, making it a standout choice for year-round garden allure.
