Coral Red Dogwood
Cornus Sericea is a low-maintenance but gorgeous deciduous ornamental shrub. It will perform beautifully in the full sunshine in USDA plant hardiness zones 3 to 8.
The Coral Red Dogwood is a Wholesale Nursery favorite. It is a native species of North America that grows wild from Canada to the mid-southern states. Despite being an east coast native, Cornus Sericea is an adaptable species that will do well across most of the country.
Coral Red Dogwood Is a Showstopper
Most people purchase this plant for its fantastic showing of white flowers in the late spring into the early summer. In most growing zones, this will occur from late May to early June. The blossoms are a soft and creamy white hue. They appear to be enormous but are clusters of tiny individual flowers, each composed of four flat petals and a light green or yellow center.
After the flowers drop their petals, the colorful shrub adds beauty to your yard. They have small trunks and upright branches and stems. The stem color is unique--a vibrant coral shade that contrasts against the early-season white blooms and the bright green leaves. The coral stems hold their color throughout the winter, adding a bright, cheery touch against the winter sky.
The Care Requirements of the Coral Red Dogwood Are Few
Gardeners love the easy care nature and hardiness of the coral red dogwood almost as much as they love the flowers. It is a cold-tolerant, frost-tolerant, pest-resistant, and drought-tolerant shrub. Upon maturing, it will need little care. Here are a few tasks you can expect to do:
- Soil: This plant does not care about soil quality; it needs quick drainage.
- Occasional pruning: After the blooms drop in June, look over the shrub for suckers and remove them.
- Watering: The coral red dogwood is delicate if you receive regular rainfall. If you do not, or you experience extreme summer heat, you will need to water it a couple of times during those weeks.
