Cornus sericea 'Baileyi'
Choose Bailey’s Red Twig Dogwood if you need a native, fast-growing shrub for wet ground, winter stem color, or a loose property-line planting; the tradeoff is size and pruning, not a tidy foundation look.
Buy This If
- You want red winter stems.
- Your site stays damp.
- You have room to let it spread.
Skip This If
- You need a compact shrub.
- You want a clipped, formal look.
- Deer browse is heavy and unmanaged.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | Its best feature is winter stem color, with spring flowers and white berries adding backup value. |
| Growth Rate | A | It fills in quickly, which helps in naturalized plantings and property-line work. |
| Maintenance | B- | It is durable, but the reddest stems come from periodic renewal pruning. |
| Deer Resistance | C | This isn't deer-resistant; deer may browse it, especially tender new growth, so protect it where deer pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C- | Its spreading habit makes it a poor fit for narrow beds and tight entries. |
| Screening Value | B | It can make a useful loose screen, though it is not dense like an evergreen. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Bailey’s for larger, informal plantings where winter stem color matters more than a clipped shape; plan on renewal pruning to keep the red stems coming.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it handle wet soil?
Yes, this is one of the better shrubs for damp spots that stay workable.
How do I keep the stems red?
Remove some older stems near the base every few years to push fresh red growth.
Is it good by the front door?
Usually no; it gets too broad and informal for tight entry plantings.
Why buy for fall color
- See the actual color before you buy it
- Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
- Fall planting means roots established before winter
