Garden Goods Direct Trees Cherokee Princess Dogwood

Cherokee Princess (Cornus florida ‘Cherokee Princess’) is a stunning spring tree that begins flowering at a very young age. You will not have to wait long before you see the pure white flowers, which are larger and whiter than are seen on other Cornus florida varieties. It also blooms roughly two weeks earlier than other dogwood trees. 

Late Spring brings lush green foliage that provides about as perfect filtered shade as you can get. In fall, the shows not over; the leaves turn a beautiful deep red. Songbirds will return again and again to the Cherokee Princess Dogwood to gather the glossy red fruits in autumn and winter.

Ideal conditions for the Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood Tree would include a well drained, acidic soil and full sun to partial shade. We would recommend planting your Dogwood tree in early spring to reap the many benefits that the tree provides throughout the seasons. When given the proper care, your Dogwood tree can reach heights of 15 to 30 feet tall making it the perfect mid-size specimen tree.

The Cherokee Princess not only makes a beautiful statement as a specimen tree, but also works to pull in a host of pollinators with its large white blooms and red berries. Specifically, the tree is great at attracting birds to a yard. These popular trees exude sophisticated beauty and are a true classic when it comes to a beautiful statement piece to a landscape.
