Our nursery dogwood selection includes cultivars with a range of flower colours, forms, and growth habits—each grown with expert care. Dogwoods are renowned for their resilience, tolerance of partial shade, and minimal maintenance requirements once established, making them ideal for both experienced gardeners and those new to landscaping.

Dogwood Varieties for New Zealand Gardens

Selecting the right dogwood for your landscape is easy with our diverse offering. Some of our most popular nursery dogwood choices include:

How to Plant and Care for Nursery Dogwood

Dogwoods are easiest to establish when planted in autumn or early spring. Choose a site with well-draining, fertile soil and partial shade, especially in hotter regions. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, backfill gently, and water thoroughly after planting. A layer of organic mulch will help maintain moisture and suppress weeds.

Regular watering is essential during the first growing season. Once established, dogwoods are remarkably drought-tolerant and rarely troubled by pests or diseases. Prune lightly in late winter if needed to maintain shape and remove any damaged branches.

Dogwood trees create four seasons of interest—spring flowers, summer shade, autumn colour, and striking winter forms.
