Buying Guide
- Climate compatibility: Most dogwoods thrive in USDA zones 5-9. Check local winter chill hours and summer heat tolerance before selecting a variety.
- Size and space: Consider mature height and canopy spread to avoid crowding sidewalks or structures. Dwarf varieties fit smaller spaces, while standard types suit larger yards.
- Bloom color and seasonal interest: Pink, white, and even red berry displays provide spring flowers and autumn fruit, supporting pollinators and birds.
- Soil and moisture: Dogwoods prefer well-drained, acidic to neutral soils with consistent moisture. Mulching helps conserve water and maintain root temperature.
- Wildlife value: Many dogwoods attract bees, butterflies, and songbirds. Planting in mixed borders enhances ecosystem benefits.
- Planting method: For bare-root or potted plants, ensure proper root spread, avoid burying crown; mulch lightly to protect roots during establishment.
- Maintenance: Prune after bloom to shape and remove dead wood. Avoid heavy pruning that may reduce flowering in subsequent years.
- Propagation and sources: Seeds like Cornus florida rubra require stratification for germination; nursery plants offer quicker ornamentals with established roots.
