Cornus florida (Flowering Dogwood) – A Four-Season Showstopper!
Transform your landscape with the stunning Cornus florida, a native flowering dogwood prized for its year-round beauty and pollinator-friendly blooms! In spring, its elegant branches burst with large, showy white or pink bracts, creating a breathtaking floral display. Summer brings lush, deep green foliage that provides a perfect backdrop for garden beds and patios. As autumn arrives, the leaves turn vibrant shades of red, burgundy, and orange, complemented by clusters of bright red berries that attract birds and wildlife. Even in winter, the graceful branching structure adds visual interest to your landscape.
Perfect as a specimen tree or in mixed plantings, Cornus florida thrives in partial shade to full sun, making it an ideal choice for gardens, woodland edges, and naturalized areas. Add this beloved native tree to your outdoor space and enjoy four seasons of beauty and ecological benefits!
