Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Dogwood Trees need full sun or part shade to flower their best. Any organically rich, well-drained soil is ideal and a location where these trees can receive regular water throughout the year. All trees thrive with the use of Nature Hills Root Booster when planting, and top-dressed with 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch covering their root zone. In nature, these trees grow best in acidic soil, so fertilize them with an acid-loving fertilizer to maintain a soil environment they grow best in.
These deciduous Dogwood trees are best pruned after the flowers fade. You can train these as tree-form focal points or keep them as shrubby flowering backbones alike!
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Enriched, Well-Drained Acidic Soil
- Prune When Dormant
- Resistant & Adaptable Tree or Shrub Form
Like a super heroine that bursts onto the scene in the nick of time, the Super Princess Flowering Dogwood Tree will always be there to brighten your landscape! Order yours today at Nature Hills Nursery!
