Embrace the allure of four-season charm with Cornus florida 'Rubra', Pink Flowering Dogwood, renowned for its breathtaking beauty and graceful presence in any landscape. This petite deciduous tree boasts a striking, broadly conical canopy, reaching heights and widths of 15-30 ft. Each spring, it bursts into a stunning display of starry blooms, 3-4 inches across, crafted by four delicate pink to reddish pink bracts encircling tiny green flowers. As the seasons transition, these blossoms yield luscious orange-red fruits, a tempting treat for the local birdlife.

Throughout summer, the tree's layered branches provide a charming green canopy, which transforms into a vibrant spectacle of maroon and scarlet foliage come fall. Winter unveils an intriguing bark texture reminiscent of alligator skin, offering a distinctive touch to the season's panorama. Ideally cultivated in part shade and moist, well-drained soils, this deer-resistant variety also tolerates full sun. It thrives as a specimen near patios, in shrub borders, woodland gardens, or naturalized settings, adding elegance to any locale. With a blend of lush greenery and arresting color, the Pink Flowering Dogwood is truly a majestic addition to your garden.
