Arctic Fire® Red Twig Dogwood — Deep Root Quart Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Shr
When the landscape goes quiet, Arctic Fire® comes alive.
This compact red twig dogwood delivers intense winter color on a plant that actually fits today’s gardens. Bright red stems glow against snow, frost, or dormant ground—creating one of the most dramatic cold-season displays you can plant.
Unlike older dogwoods that sprawl and overwhelm a space, Arctic Fire® stays naturally dense and controlled. Through the growing season, it carries clean green foliage with clusters of white flowers, followed by subtle berries. But make no mistake—this plant earns its place in winter.
And in this deep root quart format, you’re starting with strength below the surface. A deeper root system means faster establishment, better resilience, and a shrub that takes off when planted.
Plant it where you’ll see it in January.
Small pots. Big potential.
