I have no idea what to do with it or where to plant it. I would like to showcase it as it will be lovely in winter but have no idea where it will do well. Quote \| Reply \| Report

These hardy Red Twig Dogwood have beautiful clusters of white flowers in the spring, loads of lush green leaves in the summer and in the winter, when you expect a drab yard, they put on a fiery show of color with their bright red stems contrasting against the snow. The Red Twig Dogwood is an outstanding year round hedge! You get nice 1-2' well rooted nursery grown shrubs. Grow to 6 feet but can be trimmed for a beautiful hedge. Drought resistant.
