Notes
'KLM Rr' red twig dogwood (Cornus sericea 'KLM Rr') is a shrub for borders, hedges, privacy screens, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows fast and reaches 48 to 60 inches tall. White flowers appear in spring and again in summer, and they attract butterflies, bees, and birds.
Pairs well with Common snowberry, Goldsturm black-eyed Susan, and Sensitive fern.
