A compact dwarf form of our native Red-twig Dogwood. While this species can sometimes reach 20ft tall in the wild ‘Kelseyi’ is far smaller and makes an excellent small shrub. It has small clusters of white flowers in spring followed by berries which feed birds (mildly toxic to people). In fall it’s leaves change color and as the weather gets colder the young stems turn bright red and usually a little yellow at the base. Great in groupings or mass plantings. Thrives in wet soil in low areas or rain gardens yet can also tolerate some drought, especially when it receives afternoon shade. While adaptable to lower light levels the stems have best color in full sun.
