Tell Me More...
A sensational small ornamental tree with wonderous coloursIn spring, red buds form, opening in early summer to reveal tight clusters of small, green tinged, white flowers, to the delight of local pollinators. Four flat white bracts surround each cluster giving the impression of large single flowers, very impressive. Clusters of bright red, bitter, inedible berries, much loved by birds, are produced in autumn, adding extra interest as the green leaves turn beautiful shades of purple and red. Native to America, and named the state tree of Missouri and Virginia, Cornus florida is also known as the flowering dogwood, thought to be because stems were used for making dags (an old word for skewers). Cornus florida prefers to be grown in moist, well-drained soil in sun or part shade, where it will reach a mature height and spread of around 8m and is hardy with an RHS rating of H5.
