Cornus sericea ‘Isanti’ is a fast-growing, compact, deciduous shrub featuring vivid cherry-red winter stems, white spring flowers, and red to reddish-purple autumn foliage. Showy clusters of white to pale-blue drupes appear in late summer. It spreads via suckers and rhizomes to form thickets. This makes it excellent for erosion control. Other uses include hedge, screen, foundation planting, rain garden. Performs best in full sun to partial shade. It displays its best red stem color in full sun. Medium to high water needs; thrives in consistently moist, damp, or wet soils. Highly adaptable to normal, heavy clay, or poorly drained, swampy/boggy soils. Cold hardy to -40°F.
