Cornus stolonifera 'Arctic Fire™' PPAF

Flowering Shrubs can be used to add color and structure to your garden or landscape during all seasons of the year. Cornus stolonifera 'Arctic Fire™' will add color to your garden even during the winter months. This dwarf Dogwood is one of the many varieties we carry in the Color Choice® Shrub program from Proven Winners®.

Cornus Arctic Fire™ is an extremely compact selection of the very popular 'Baileyii' dogwood. It is roughly 1/2 the height and with twice as many branches. With its numerous dark red stems, Artic Fire™ makes a dazzling display in the winter sunlight. Cut the red stems for holiday arrangements or for season long color indoors!

Arctic Fire™ has an upright habit and can reach a height and spread of 36-48". It prefers sun to part shaded areas with well drained, moist soils. It is hardy in USDA Zones 3-7. Arctic Fire™ is great for small gardens or residential landscapes. Cornus Arctic Fire™ can be used in perennial or shrub borders, planted in masses or groupings. It can also be included in a combination planter. It adds height to either the center or back of the planter.
