This shrubby tree form will be well-deservingly known as the crown jewel of your landscaping. You won't be the only one raving about the Cherokee Princess Dogwood, you will be impressed by the crowd of butterflies that this shrub attracts.

In the spring, Cherokee Princess Dogwood will sparkle like the jewel on a crown from its pure, white flower clusters before the bronzy foliage emerges soon after. Then this bronzed new growth ages to green and densely fills out the entire tree!

Then as nights turn colder in the autumn, the foliage turns into a reddish-purple coloration that will make your jaw drop! Don't forget the clusters of 3-4 oval red fruits are ½ inch each! Songbirds will flit between the graceful branching plucking these juicy gems from the tree!

Wonderfully cold-hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4 to 9, Cherokee Princess boasts a large rounded canopy that becomes full of four-pointed stars all spring! Once the fall foliage of this deciduous tree drops, you’ll enjoy the lovely bark and the graceful branching when dusted in the snow! If the birds have left you any, you'll also enjoy the red berries peeking out from the snow for further winter interest!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Treat your shrub like the princess she is by planting in full sun with rich, well-drained soil. The Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood Trees grow up to 30 feet tall and wide in optimal conditions! You'll enjoy the most color and the most blooms when planted in full sun! But in hotter climates, Dogwoods appreciates morning sun and afternoon shade! Provide irrigation or regular moderate moisture throughout the growing season with a 3-4 inch layer of mulch around the base year-round to keep the soil moist.

Prune Dogwoods to shape when dormant, and remove water growth or suckers after flowering. Decide what you want to keep first, then remove crossed branches and branches heading into the interior of the canopy to open it up for sunlight penetration and air circulation. A bit on the slower-growing side, after all, it takes a lot of energy to be this dramatic and full of colors! But that means less work and maintenance on your part too!

• Full Sun & Afternoon Shade
