Bailey Red Twig Dogwood (Cornus Sericea ‘Baileyi’) – 5 Gallon Pot

The Bailey Red Twig Dogwood is a non-suckering version of our native species adored for its upright bright red stems and branches that will set the landscape on fire during winter, especially when there’s snow on the ground. But the fine attributes don’t stop there. In late spring to early summer, abundant flat-topped clusters of fragrant white flowers stand out beautifully against the deep green foliage. Following the flowers are clusters of white, pearl-like berries the birds will thank you for. Fall brings attractive shades of orange, red leaves that eventually turn to purple shades before dropping to expose the colorful stems. As with the species, Bailey grows 6 to 10 feet tall and equally as wide and prefers a consistently moist soil, even thriving in boggy to wet sites in full sun to part shade. A four-season beauty that deserves a spot in every landscape where it will grow, USDA Zones 3-8b and 9 in cool-summer climates.
