Red Twig Dogwood (Cornus sericea) 'Kelseyi' is a fantastic dogwood option for a smaller garden space. This dwarf, rounded cultivar features the same dark green foliage that turns to beautiful shades of red and purple in the fall, before falling off and revealing the famous red stems in winter. However, it should be noted that 'Kelseyi' does not produce as many of the flowers and berries as other, larger cultivars do. 'Kelseyi' works well in smaller garden beds and borders, rain gardens, shade and woodland gardens, or foundation plantings. It can also be used as a taller, more naturalistic groundcover. Any berries it produces are not fit for human consumption and should be left on the plant. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain desired shape and the redness of the stems, which are more pronounced on new growth. It is tolerant of urban pollution.
