Dogwood Tree (15 Gallon)

15-Gallon Dogwood Tree – A Living Legacy of Beauty and Belonging

There’s something truly special about a Dogwood tree—and with our 15-Gallon Dogwood Tree, you’re bringing home not just a stunning ornamental plant, but a meaningful symbol of faith, love, and Southern heritage. Full of charm and character, this larger-sized tree is ready to make a graceful statement in your landscape from the moment it’s planted.

Dogwoods are treasured for their early spring blooms—soft white or pink, petal-like bracts that unfold like a quiet celebration of new beginnings. Their year-round appeal, from lush summer foliage to rich fall color and winter bark texture, makes them a heartfelt favorite among gardeners and neighbors alike.

What It Means:
Traditionally, dogwoods symbolize rebirth, strength, and remembrance. Plant one to honor a milestone, remember a loved one, or simply to grow something beautiful that will last for generations.

When It Blooms:
Early to mid-spring (typically March–April), with delicate, showy blooms that light up the garden before most other trees awaken.

Where It Grows Best:

• USDA Zones: 5–9

• Prefers partial shade or morning sun with afternoon shade

• Does well in well-drained, fertile, slightly acidic soil

• Perfect for front yards, cottage gardens, or tucked along woodland borders

Care Plan:

• Water deeply once or twice weekly during its first year, especially in warmer months

• Mulch 2–3 inches deep around the base (avoid contact with trunk)

• Light pruning after flowering can help shape if needed

• Feed in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer

Beautiful Companion Plants:

• Azaleas and gardenias for soft color and fragrance

• Hostas and ferns beneath the tree for a lush woodland look

• Hydrangeas to echo the Dogwood’s romantic Southern charm

• Impatiens or violas for cheerful color in shadier beds
