Perhaps its most outstanding ornamental feature is during the winter when its upright stems turn bright red, which stand out remarkably well in snow. These stems are excellent for cutting and use in a vase or floral arrangements. Late spring brings abundant flat-top clusters of fragrant, white flowers. Equally abundant, pear-like white berries follow the flowers. When temperatures cool in fall, the rich green foliage turns to shades of orange, red, and purple. At 6 to 8 feet tall and spreading up to 12 feet wide, it makes for a fine specimen, grouping, or natural hedge in sunny to partially shaded borders in USDA Zones 3-8. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing 6 to 8 feet tall and 8 to 12 feet wide, the Cardinal Red Twig Dogwood is ideal for a specimen, grouping, or natural hedge in sunny to partially shaded landscapes and woodland borders. Because it tolerates consistently moist to wet soil, it is perfect for those areas where the soil just doesn't want to dry out. It is a fine addition to native gardens, red theme gardens, bird and wildlife gardens, and cottage gardens.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSuggested Spacing:\u003c\/span\u003e  7 feet apart for hedge; 14 feet or more apart for space between plants\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Cardinal Red Twig Dogwood is easy to grow in moist to boggy soils of average fertility and full sun to part shade.
