White Flowering Dogwood
Our White Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida ‘Cherokee Princess’) is a beautiful small tree loved for its pure white blossoms in early spring. Beyond this Dogwood tree’s bright white blossoms, it is prized for its low-maintenance care requirements and stunning fall color.
The White Flowering Dogwood enjoys full sun to partial shade. This tree is also perfectly happy growing in the dappled shade of taller trees and, as a result, can be used to add a layer of color in shaded gardens. Additionally, dogwoods are known for tolerating a wide range of soil conditions, from clay soils to loamy, acidic, and sandy soils.
You will be in for a real treat in the fall as your Dogwood’s green leaves change to a red-purple hue. Best suited for hardiness zones 5-9, these flowering trees are highly adaptable and work well in any landscape design. As a bonus, this Dogwood cultivar produces red berries in the winter that attract birds and support local ecosystems.
The White Dogwood Tree reaches a mature height of 15 to 25 feet tall, making it the ideal specimen tree for small yards and secluded landscapes. The trees look great in plantings along pathways and can be used as a focal point. Plant a White Flowering Dogwood in your yard this planting season to enjoy its classic and enchanting charm year after year.
