Zone: 2ELEGANTISSIMA RED TWIG DOGWOOD
The Elegantissima Red Twig Dogwood is a deciduous shrub that provides interest in every season. Its variegated leaves are green with creamy white margins. Small, white flowers appear late spring to early summer and may get overshadowed by its beautiful variegated foliage.
In fall the leaves change to gold and red. As the Elegantissima heads to winter, attractive white berries are produced with traces of blue and green. Bright red stem color lasts all year and is its brightest red in full sun. Prune out part of the old wood each year to encourage colorful new growth.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in full sun to partial shade; it performs best in sunny locations where stem color will be most vibrant. It is exceptionally adaptable to various soil types and uniquely tolerant of wet, boggy conditions. Pruning: The bright red stem color fades as the wood ages. To maintain the 'fire-engine' red color, you will need to practice rejuvenation pruning: in late winter, cut one-third to one-half of the oldest, dullest stems all the way back to the ground. This forces a flush of vibrant, new red growth for the following winter.
