Red-osier Dogwood is a free-spreading deciduous shrub native to Canada which grows from 1-6m (3-20ft) in height. It has numerous stems, and its sharp pointed leaves range from 5-10cm (2-4in) in length. The flowers occur in open clusters and are white to greenish in colour. The stems of young plants are often bright red - hence the name.

Red-osier Dogwood is a moderately shade-tolerant plant that grows best on moist to wet, nutrient-rich soils. It is often found along stream banks, swamps, and in moist valley bottoms with Black Cottonwood and Red Alder. Red-osier Dogwood is an attractive ornamental shrub ideally suited to wetter sections of the garden.
