#ProPlantTips for Care:
Arctic Fire® Is a type of yellow-twigged, Redosier Dogwood shrubs are widely adaptable and thrive in full sun and partial shade, alkaline and clay soil, and even grow well in saline conditions! Dogwood are notoriously good at handling occasionally soggy sites. Mulch with a layer of arborist bark chips 3 to 4 inches deep to 3 feet outside of the canopy to ensure the root stays cool in the hot summer.
Pruning can be done while dormant to control size and shape. Naturally wanting to increase in size by suckers, you can control spread by trimming roots with a spade to remove root suckers if their spread is not wanted or needs maintaining. Since the color of the stems is best on younger stems, you can either prune to the ground in late winter to renewal pruning near the ground or just remove the older stems every few years.
- Widely Adaptable in Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Thrives in Both Wet or Dry Conditions
- Tolerant of a Wide Range of Well-Drained Soil Types
- Prune/Renewal Prune Late Winter
