Why Choose Cornus florida?

Cornus florida is beloved for its spectacular show of white, pink, or even red bracts in spring, which are often mistaken for delicate blossoms. As the seasons progress, lush green foliage provides summer shade, followed by a burst of autumn colour in orange, red, and purple hues. This versatile tree typically grows to around 6-8 metres and is ideal for smaller gardens or as an understory planting due to its graceful, spreading branches.

Growing and Caring for Cornus florida

Flowering dogwoods appreciate a spot in partial shade or dappled sunlight, with protection from harsh afternoon rays. They prefer rich, well-draining soils with consistent moisture, especially while establishing. Mulch around the base to conserve water and keep roots cool. Once they settle in, Cornus florida trees are surprisingly hardy and reward with year-after-year seasonal interest.

Prune after flowering if needed to maintain their elegant shape or to remove any dead wood. A well-placed Cornus florida can become the star of your garden, providing structure, wildlife value, and exceptional seasonal displays.
