Description
Cornus florida, also known as Flowering Dogwood, is one of the most ornamental small trees for gardens, celebrated for its spectacular spring display and richly coloured autumn foliage. At 60/80cm in a 10L pot, this young tree is well-established and ready to grow into a stunning feature specimen.
In spring, large white flower bracts appear, creating a dramatic and elegant show that lasts for weeks. Through summer, the tree carries neat, fresh green foliage before turning vivid shades of red, orange, and purple in autumn. Ideal as a standalone feature, in lawn planting, mixed borders, and woodland edges, Cornus florida thrives in sheltered, partially shaded spots with fertile, moisture-retentive soil.
A compact, slow-growing ornamental tree, it is perfect for gardens of all sizes and adds year-round interest.
