Red Osier Dogwood will grow 6-10 feet tall and become bushy. It can be drought-tolerant, but really loves wet site conditions like streams/ponds. It’s ideal for those looking to protect stream, pond, or lake banks as it has deep-reaching roots that can stabilize soil against erosion. It can also be used as a hedge or windbreak specimen.
It will bloom a white flower from May to June then produce small berries that game birds adore. Many know it for its iconic red bark in fall & winter.
