Cornus Florida NEW 2023

Flowering Dogwood is a lovely, spring-blooming deciduous tree. Showy white flowers appear in April-May, offering a valuable nectar source for native bees. Flowers are followed by oval=shaped fruits, which mature to a bright red color in late fall. The green foliage turns a deep reddish-purple in the fall. Flowering Dogwood is a host plant for butterfly and moth larvae. Prefers moist, acidic, organic soils and grows best in partly shady areas. Zone 5-7b
