(Cornus sericea)
Height: 6–8 feet
Spread: 5–10 feet
USDA Hardiness Zone: 2a

This small, water-loving shrub has a bright red bark that’s impossible to miss. It’s a great all-purpose plant that generally prefers wetter areas like ditches and riverbeds, but is adaptable to a variety of moisture gradients, climatic conditions and soil types.

Dogwoods have a white bloom changing to white berries with the season. Their light green summer leaves become a red fall blush.

The red bark is brightest in early spring when there is little other color around making this bush showy all year round.

(Acer glabrum)
Height: 15–20 feet
Spread: 10–15 feet
USDA Hardiness Zone: 4a

The Rocky Mountain Maple is an understory tree native to the mountain valleys of North America.

These maples have a bright red fall color and beautiful red samaras (seed pods) making this tree a spectacle in the fall.

Commonly used to add a natural, wild look to plantings, Rocky Mountain Maples prefer acidic soil high in organic matter and will struggle in high pH of clay soils. Wood mulch can be used to increase organic matter and soil acidity.

Being an understory tree, Rocky Mountain Maple also prefers full to partial shade and is an excellent choice for yards with large already established trees.

(Salix ‘Flame’)
Height: 10–20 feet
Spread: 10–15 feet
USDA Hardiness Zone: 3a

Like the Dogwood, the Flame Willow is another plant that shows off its bright fiery orange/yellow bark in the early spring, when everything else is gray and brown.

It is an extremely hardy plant that can tolerate dry conditions but prefers ample moisture.

It’s also not particular about soil pH or soil type, and is very receptive to pruning and shaping.
