The Isanti Red Twig Dogwood is a selected form of the red osier, a native shrub and an attractive deciduous bush that grows 4 or 5 feet tall and 3 to 7 feet across. It makes a dense thicket of branches. The green leaves turn vibrant shades of red, orange and purple in fall, and when they drop the bright red twigs are revealed. These add interest and color to your winter garden, looking great against fresh snow or green hedges. This is an excellent choice for shrub beds, slopes, natural areas and beside water.

Grow the Isanti Red Twig Dogwood in full sun or partial shade, in most soils, including wet ones and even shallow water. It grows well in ordinary garden soil and has some resistance to summer dryness. It grows well even in zone 3.

Annual pruning can be done in early spring to encourage the growth of young branches, which have the best red coloring.
