Red Twig Dogwood (Cornus sericea 'Cardinal') are best grown in organically rich, fertile, consistently moist soils in full sun to part shade. Tolerant of a wide range of soils, inc luding swampy or boggy conditions. Trim roots with a spade and promptly remove root suckers if colonial spread is undesired. Best stem color occurs on young stems. Although pruning is not required, many gardeners choose to remove 20-25% of the oldest stems in early spring of each year to stimulate growth of new stems which will display the best color.
