More Information

Description Don't dread winter - celebrate it, with the bold and cheerful red stems of Arctic Fire® Red red-twig dogwood (Cornus sericea) from Proven Winners! This super durable native shrub looks rugged and handsome in the landscape all season, but come autumn, the leaves drop to reveal bright red stems that persist in the landscape all winter. It truly shines when surrounded by a blanket of fresh snow. Perfect for just about any landscape, this dogwood grows to half the height of most varieties, making it easy to fit just about anywhere. This shrub also does well in the shade! We absolutely love this and Arctic Fire Yellow dogwood planted in front of evergreens, the wall of your home, or anywhere they can be appreciated against a backdrop to really make their color pop.

Extremely small, very pricey

Even on sale this shrub is way over priced. The two that I received are very small, as are the Hostas and the fern I also ordered.The plant size page to which the customer assistance associate referred me mentions only the container size, and nothing about the size of the plant that’s being sent. I realize that the plants aren’t going to be mature when received; however, this is the first time that I’ve been surprised by how tiny the plants I received are. I have ordered from this company on multiple occasions, and this is the first time that I have been unsatisfied with my purchase. I don’t recommend buying this shrub.

We’re sorry you’re not satisfied with your plants! On each product page and our plant sizes page, we note that all of our plants are young. The size of our plants varies depending on the time of year and whether they were recently trimmed. The most important thing when purchasing plants, online or in garden centers, is a full and robust root system, which we prioritize. Trimming only encourages stronger root development! All orders are covered by our 60-day guarantee, so please reach out to claims@greatgardenplants.com to start the claims process if necessary.
