Discover the captivating allure of Cornus sanguinea, popularly known as Bloodtwig Dogwood, a deciduous shrub that effortlessly blends ornamental beauty with resilience. Native to Europe and extending eastward to Lebanon and the Caucasus, this striking shrub grows to a mature height of 8 to 15 feet. Distinguished by its vibrant red young stems that shift to a subtle green-gray with age, Bloodtwig Dogwood presents a dynamic visual appeal throughout the seasons. Its foliage exhibits a rich dark green hue, transitioning to a breathtaking reddish-purple in fall, while spring unveils clusters of small white flowers that entice butterflies. Summer offers purplish-black drupes, a favorite for birds.

Ideal for hedges, shrub borders, or rain gardens, this low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun to part shade and is highly adaptable to varied soils. Notably, gardeners value its tolerance to deer and erosion. Annual pruning can enhance the vivid stem color, making it a winter garden standout. Experience the versatility and enduring charm of Bloodtwig Dogwood, a perfect addition for anyone looking to enhance their landscape with year-round interest.
