When It Blooms:
Early to mid-spring (March–April), with showy, petal-like bracts surrounding tiny cluster blooms.

Where It Grows Best:

• Zones: 5–9

• Prefers partial shade to filtered sunlight

• Thrives in well-drained, rich, slightly acidic soil

• Ideal for woodland edges, front yards, or as a centerpiece in a cottage-style garden

Care Plan:

• Water deeply once or twice a week during the first growing season

• Mulch around the base to keep roots cool and moist (but avoid piling against the trunk)

• Prune lightly after flowering if needed to maintain shape

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

Companion Plants We Love With Dogwoods:

• Azaleas and camellias for soft spring color

• Ferns and hostas for texture beneath the canopy

• Hydrangeas for a layered, Southern garden look

• Shade-loving annuals like impatiens for pops of color
