The Arctic Fire dogwood (Cornus alba 'Arctic Fire') is a deciduous shrub with green leaves that turn reddish-purple in fall and bright red stems for winter interest. It grows 3-5 feet tall and wide, with white flowers in late spring and white to pale blue berries. Thriving in USDA zones 3-8, it prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It requires regular watering, annual pruning in late winter or early spring, and early spring fertilizing. Ideal for borders, hedges, or as a specimen plant, it attracts birds and adds seasonal color to the garden.
