#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
