ARCTIC FIRE Red
Cornus 'Farrow'
Light up the winter landscape with Arctic Fire® Red red-twig dogwood, which sports vibrant red stems all winter long. While the bright stems are the main appeal of Arctic Fire® Red, it does get tiny white flowers in spring that support pollinators. A compact red-twig dogwood, Arctic Fire® Red is just 3-5’ tall and wide, rather than the 8-10’ size of conventional varieties, making it much better suited for residential landscapes. Bring the outdoors in and use Arctic Fire® Red dogwood as a cut stem for holiday arrangements or for season-long color indoors. Native to North America, this Cornus sericea (formerly known as Cornus stolonifera ) is drought-tolerant and deer and rabbit-resistant.
