Variegated Red Twig Dogwood

Showy color throughout the seasons

Red twigs for winter interest
Deer and rabbit resistant
Ideal for erosion control

Variegated Red Twig Dogwood offers some of the best qualities of shrubs—it's fast growing, easy care, solves gardening challenges and provides months of color. This award-winning, deciduous shrub brightens landscapes with its green and white leaves that increase in variegation when grown in afternoon shade. In the winter months, its red twigs adds a splash of color. Growing 6-9 ft. tall with an upright, spreading habit, it can be planted as a hedge along a walkway or property line, grown as a specimen plant or planted in groups for erosion control. Deer and rabbits tend to avoid it. For best results, plant in partial shade or shade. Zones 2-8.
