Redtwig Dogwood is a true four season hardy shrub. Spring brings a flush of bright green, soft foliage, in the early summer, Redtwig Dogwoods produce fragrant white flowers that are followed by deep, blue colored berries, in the fall the blue berries contrast with the bright red fall foliage color, and winter brings fire-red redtwigs that provide not only visual interest but serve as habitat for winter birds.
