Cornus florida rubra
PINK/RED FLOWERING DOGWOOD
- Unit price
- / per
While most of the wild trees have white flowers, this tree is for the rare pink flowers, some even almost a true red.
Cornus florida, the flowering dogwood, is native to North America and northern Mexico. The tree is popular as an ornamental because of its showy flowers and interesting bark structure.
Flowering dogwood is a small deciduous tree growing to 10 m (33 ft) high, often wider than it is tall when mature, with a trunk diameter of up to 30 cm (1 ft).
When in the wild they can typically be found at the forest edge and frequently on dry ridges. They typically flower in early April in the southern part of their range, to late April or early May in northern and high altitude areas.
Flowering dogwood does best with some afternoon shade, but good morning sun. The common flowering dogwood has been placed on the endangered species list in Ontario.
Rare and limited supply. May not be available again.
Type: Hardy ornamental tree
Height: 33 ft, 10m
Hardiness zones: 5-9
Seeds per packet: 5
Soak the seeds for 12-24 hours before planting. Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 120 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature 20-22°C (68-72°F) for them to germinate. Germination is about 60 days after the warming period. Do not discard the planting tray, as patience is needed, and they are well worth the wait.
