Bailey Red Twig Dogwood – 1 Live Shrub, 3-Gallon Size – Cornus sericea ‘Baileyi’

Bailey Red Twig Dogwood (Cornus sericea ‘Baileyi’) is a deciduous ornamental shrub valued for its brilliant red stems, which provide striking color during the winter months. Its upright, spreading growth habit makes it an attractive choice for shrub borders, naturalized landscapes, and seasonal garden displays.

During spring, clusters of small, creamy-white flowers appear among the green leaves, followed by pale, berry-like fruits that can attract birds. The foliage may develop reddish-purple tones in autumn before dropping to reveal the colorful red branches. The brightest stem color is typically found on younger growth.

Bailey Red Twig Dogwood adapts to full sun or partial shade and prefers moist, fertile soil, although it tolerates a range of soil conditions. It is particularly useful in rain gardens, woodland edges, and landscape areas where winter stem color is desired.
