Princess Dogwood #5 BIG WHITE BLOOM
Description
Flowering dogwood is a woody, deciduous, flowering understory tree in the Cornaceae (dogwood) family that may grow 15 to 25 feet tall. It is native from southeastern Canada to eastern North America to eastern Mexico. The genus name comes from the Latin word for horn, cornu, most likely in reference to the tree’s hard, dense wood.
Locate flowering dogwood in a site that receives full sun to partial shade and plant in well-drained soil that is high in organic matter and has an acidic to neutral pH. A 2 to 4-inch layer of mulch will help keep the roots cool and moist in hot summers. Propagate flowering dogwood by seed or stem cutting.
Dogwood’s true flowers are visited by butterflies and specialized bees, and its red fruits are a food source for songbirds and other wildlife from fall through winter. This tree is quite tolerant to heat once established and has a low flammability rating.
