Arctic Fire® Red Twig Dogwood (Cornus stolonifera 'Farrow') is a dwarf selection of red twig dogwood, prized for its vibrant red stems that shine against winter landscapes. In spring and summer, it offers lush green foliage and small white flowers, followed by berries that attract birds. In fall, the leaves turn a soft burgundy before dropping to reveal the bold red stems underneath. With its compact size—just 3 to 5 feet tall and wide—Arctic Fire is easy to fit into smaller spaces and needs minimal pruning to look tidy. It thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates wet soils, making it a great choice for rain gardens and low spots.
