Coral Red Dogwood Shrubs

TN Nursery customers can’t get enough Cornus sericea or coral red dogwoods. The North American native species is a deciduous ornamental tree that flourished from Canada to the mid-south and midwestern states.

Coral Red Dogwood Has Year-Round Color 

Why do they love it? For its lovely display of white flowers in the late spring or early summer.

Most gardeners adore coral red dogwood trees for more than just their prolific white flowers; they also enjoy the year-round color! The attractive scarlet-colored stems of the bushes enhance the lovely white blossoms. During spring and summer, those stems are bronze to scarlet and turn to an intense scarlet hue that provides wintertime color after the leaves fall.

Coral Red Dogwood Is Easy to Care For

Gardeners also enjoy the bush's easy-to-care-for properties. It is cold-tolerant, pest-resistant, and drought-tolerant. Once it matures, it will require almost no additional attention except during an extended drought. Bushes flourish in the cool to moderately warm U.S.D.A. growing zones.

Coral Red Dogwood Has Strong Root

Once your bush establishes strong roots, it will produce a stunning display of enormous white flowers in late spring or early summer and an attractive green crown during the summer. When the short days of fall arrive, the leaves turn orange, bronze, scarlet, or russet.

Coral Red Dogwood Loves Sun Shine

Before you plant your bush, find a spot with full sunshine and well-draining soil. They love moisture, but they do not tolerate wet roots. De-compact the ground and scoop in a generous amount of organic woody materials. Mulch, peat moss, or leaf litter all work well.

After the bush matures, you only need to fertilize it twice yearly, prune it as needed, and mulch around the base to insulate it in the late fall.

You Will Enjoy The Immense Beauty of the bush.

They have sturdy but relatively small trunks and slender but sturdy, upright branches and stems.

The blossoms are creamy white. They appear as significant, singular flowers but are massive clusters of tiny flowers. Each bloom consists of four flat petals and a green or yellow middle.

Coral Red Dogwood is perfect for year-round color; even when the leaves drop in the fall, the colorful stems create a warm wash of color. Order yours from TN Nursery today.
