Cornus stolonifera 'Arctic Fire' is a captivating addition to any landscape design. More commonly recognized as the Red Osier Dogwood, this 3-4 feet tall and equally wide shrub is a multi-season marvel that thrives in full sun to partial shade. Renowned for vivid red stems that create a spectacular contrast in frosty winter landscapes, this compact beauty also boasts lush, puckered, ovate leaves that transition from dark green to a dazzling mix of red and purple in the fall. From late spring, delight in the profusion of white flower clusters that not only add to the visual charm but invite a merry mix of wildlife and give way to porcelain-blue berries in the summer. Adaptability is another of its strong suits, as the Arctic Fire proves remarkably tolerant of various soil conditions, demonstrating an exceptional preference for moist and even swampy locations. Choose the Arctic Fire for vibrant borders, mass plantings, or as a stand-alone statement piece that sprinkles color and interest across seasons.
