Cornus alba 'Regnzam' RED GNOME
Tatarian dogwood (Cornus alba 'Regnmzam' RED GNOME) is an amazing plant species. The stunning red branches make it a memorable garden or landscape accent. Its white flowers in the spring and early summer, bright red berries in late summer, and red foliage in the fall and winter, make it a standout during the entire year. This dogwood is also disease-resistant, easy to maintain, and salt/pollution tolerant, which makes it ideal for urban settings. With its low-growing and spreading habit, it is also an excellent choice for naturalized areas and provides food and cover to native wildlife. Its dense branching and compact form also make it great for use as a low hedge or groundcover.

watering
Tatarian Dogwood (Cornus alba 'Regnzam' RED GNOME) should be watered deeply and approximately once per week, especially in the spring and summer months. Be sure to check that the soil is slightly moist before watering and allow any excess water to drain away. During the fall and winter months, you should cut back on watering, only giving the plant supplemental water when necessary to keep the soil around the roots from becoming too dry. Over-watering can lead to root rot and other diseases, so be diligent when watering this plant.
sunlight
Tatarian Dogwood (Cornus alba 'Regnazam' RED GNOME) grow best in full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day). During the hottest months of the summer, afternoon shade may be beneficial to protect the plant from scorching sun. In colder winter regions, it may survive in part shade, particularly if this provides it with a few extra hours of sunlight during the dormant season.
pruning
Tatarian dogwood (Cornus alba 'Regnzam' RED GNOME) should be pruned lightly in the late winter to the early spring before any new growth starts. Pruning should be done to remove dead, diseased, or broken branches and branches that rub against each other. When pruning, try to keep the shrub in a natural shape, cutting only 4-6 inches off the end of each branch and thereby maintaining the shrub's overall size and shape. Do not prune excessively otherwise it will result in excessive leaf growth which can overcrowd the branches and reduce flowering. If the shrub has become too large, then a more drastic pruning can be done by 1/3 to 1/2 in the late winter or early spring but this should be avoided if possible.
