added by Annie Thornton to Great Design Plant: Redtwig Dogwood

Botanical name: Cornus sericea (syn. Cornus stolonifera)Common names: Redtwig dogwood, red osier dogwood, American dogwood, red willow, redstem dogwood, redosier dogwood, creek dogwoodUSDA zones: 2-7Water requirement: ModerateSun requirement: Full sun to shadeMature size: 7-9’ tall, spreads to 12’ wideTolerances: Deer, soil — including wet soil and clay soilEnvironmental benefits: Fruit attracts birds and wildlife; flowers attract butterflies

added by Le jardinet to Pacific Northwest Gardener's December Checklist

Planting ideas. When it comes to plants, redtwig dogwoods (Cornus sericea), evergreen trees and shrubs, and winter-hardy grasses, such as feather reed grass (Calamagrostis acutiflora), are favorites for the winter landscape. I find that creating winter vignettes is more effective than just placing a single conifer here and there. For example, this stand of redtwig dogwoods looks all the more striking for being placed in front of the ghostly quaking aspens (Populus tremuloides).
