Cornus sanguinea, known as blood-twig dogwood, is a versatile deciduous shrub valued for its striking red winter stems. This multi-stemmed, upright plant typically reaches 8 to 15 feet in height and width, often forming dense thickets. It features dark green summer foliage that transitions to a rich reddish-purple in autumn. Clusters of small white flowers appear in spring, followed by dark berries that attract birds. It thrives in moist, well-drained soils in full sun to partial shade.
