Flowering Dogwood Trees are known for their stunning spring blooms, but they also have unbelievable fall foliage. Come autumn, the leaves transform into striking hues of red, orange, and yellow. These deciduous trees are also very hardy and can thrive in a number of soil types.

Popular Types of Dogwood Trees

Flowering Dogwood Trees come in several different showy varieties, which bloom from April to May. Some of our nursery expert's favorite types include:

Summer Gold Dogwood

This dogwood is valued for its exceptional bright green variegated foliage with prominent golden-yellow flowers. This small tree has a slender, upright form when young that broadens with age. Masses of creamy flower-like bracts arrive in early spring. The gently rippled leaves develop flashes of bright pink in summer, turning brilliant red by fall.

Cornus Wolf Eyes

This stunning dogwood produces gray-green leaves that are accented with ivory along wavy margins. This is undoubtedly a specimen quality tree for adding interest to any landscape.

Massive, bright-red berries follow large white flowers. In the fall, the show is not over. The leaves turn a beautiful pink to red. The white variegation looks so clean and doesn't burn like other variegated plants.

Cherokee Brave

Dogwood Cherokee Brave is a captivating small tree. You'll want to plant it close to the house so you can enjoy the beautiful blooms. In spring, you'll watch this tree blanket itself in white to coral-pink flowers the size and shape of butterflies perched on the branch tips.

Summer brings lush green foliage that provides about as perfect filtered shade as you can get. In fall, the shows not over the leaves turn a beautiful deep red. Songbirds will return again and again to the Dogwood Cherokee Brave to gather the glossy red fruits in autumn and winter.

Kousa 

An excellent small specimen tree that belongs in any size garden. Two outstanding characteristics of this beautiful tree are the four-petaled, white flowers that appear above the foliage in June and the pleasing red-purple fall color. Kousa Dogwood Tree is a hardier substitute for the acid-loving flowering dogwood.

The shallow root system will benefit from a layer of mulch to maintain a cool root environment. Fun fact, the "flowers" on this tree are not actually petals at all, but white bracts (modified leaves) that resemble soft white petals.

Milky Way Kousa Dogwood

Milky Way Dogwood Trees are an excellent small specimen tree that belongs in any size garden. The Milky Way appears to be just like your typical white dogwood, but don't be fooled by this popular yard tree's classic spring look. What sets this dogwood apart from other varieties is its variegated leaves in the spring and its multi-colored fall display.

As varieties grow between 15 to 30 feet tall, flowering dogwood trees are also versatile when it comes to where you plant them. Place them as a focal point by your patio or within your native plant garden.

How to Buy the Right Dogwood Tree For Your Landscape

The visual beauty of ornamental trees, from their bark to their petal shape, can be the most compelling reason for choosing a variety of flowering dogwood trees. It's essential to look beyond their natural beauty and consider these questions:

Where do you want to plant it? What is its spread? How tall does it grow? What is its growing zone?

Answering these questions helps you not only choose a flowering dogwood you can nurture but also helps you narrow your choices. Though, many gardeners can rarely resist having just one of these ornamental trees.

Dogwood grows in zones 5-8 in part to full sun. Dogwood tree blooms in early to late spring, depending on the variety that you choose.

How to Plant a Dogwood Tree

Caring for your garden's newest trees begins by knowing how to plant flowering dogwood trees. To start, soak the tree's roots for no more than 12 hours and then dig a hole at least one foot wider than your tree's root system. When you place your trees, make sure their roots are not in a J-shape.

Flowering dogwood trees love moist soil, so we recommend using two to four inches of mulch to prevent it from drying out. Using fertilizer at the time of planting is also an excellent choice, though you'll want to wait until your tree's second year to use it again. Pruning begins in year two, as well. Just remember — don't trim during the fall.
