Beautiful red stems and a compact habit and is at its best in the winter sunlight. This dwarf variety reaches just 3-5' feet rather than the 8-10' of conventional red-twig dogwood. Its smaller size makes this variety great for smaller landscapes. Trim to the ground every few years to keep the stems young and more colorful. Deer resistant.
