Description

Pucker Up!® Red Twig Dogwood (Cornus sanguinea 'Pucker Up') has awesome texture! This unique version of our native red-twig dogwood offers a little twist: heavily textured foliage that has a "quilted" effect. It makes an eye-catching addition to your landscape and thrives even in wet or partially shaded areas. Though it does flower and display some red coloration on its young stems, foliage is this variety's defining characteristic.Top three reasons to grow Pucker Up red-twig dogwood: 1.Heavily textured foliage. 2.Native and tolerant of a wide range of conditions. 3.slow-growing, so it rarely requires pruning. Uses Notes: This versatile shrub works well as a mass planting, for naturalistic or native plantings, and for a unique specimen. It makes an interesting subject in a container, and can also be used as a cut branch. Maintenance Notes: This is a very low-maintenance plant that rarely needs pruning. If you wish to prune it, do so in early spring. Year-old and younger stems will show some red color in winter, but its slow-growing habit means that it should not be pruned heavily, as it will take a while for it to recover. Tolerates some shade, as well as wet soils. In Eastern Kansas, this cultivar performs WELL with just about everything nature has to challenge it! Heat and drought are tolerated if in shade or morning sun. Cold tolerance is no problem. No disease or pest problems. Great plant for dry-shade. After 10 years and despite a slow growth rate, it is advisable to rejuvinate this shrub down to the ground as it will reach 5-6 feet tall eventually. All Proven Winners® plants are legally propagated, healthy and vigorous, true to name, and tagged with color pictures and growing information.
