Arctic Fire Yellow red-osier dogwood (Cornus stolonifera 'Arctic Fire® Yellow') brings bold winter color with bright yellow stems on a compact, easy-care shrub. You can use it as a focal point, in mixed shrub borders, or massed for a strong winter display, and it pairs well with red-stemmed dogwoods for striking contrast.

Plant it in full sun to part shade for best stem color, though it is notably shade tolerant and adapts to a wide range of garden soils. Once established, it is broadly durable and performs well in typical landscape conditions; consistent moisture helps it look its best, especially in warmer, drier spots. Expect a mature size of about 48-60 inches tall and roughly 60-72 inches wide, so give it room to fill in or plan on shaping as needed.

For the brightest winter stems, focus your pruning on renewing young growth. In early spring, you can remove about one-third of the oldest stems at the base each year, or cut the whole plant back hard every other year if you want a flush of fresh, colorful canes. This renewal pruning keeps the plant tidy and maintains strong seasonal color without complicated maintenance.

Use Arctic Fire Yellow where you want reliable structure through the growing season and standout stems after leaf drop. It is a great choice for borders, groupings, and winter interest plantings, and it can be used for seasonal cut stems in arrangements when the canes are at their most vivid.
