Cornus sericea 'Bailey's'
Red Twig Dogwood provides year-round landscape interest: In spring, it has creamy-white flowers; summer to fall, bright green to red-tinted foliage; and in winter, bright-red bark. It forms a large, spreading, thicket-forming shrub with several stems. Propagate by cuttings.
Useful for erosion control. *Deer Resistant*
