Zone: 5CHEROKEE CHIEF FLOWERING DOGWOOD
The Cherokee Chief Flowering Dogwood is noteworthy for its large, rosy red flower bracts in early spring - earlier than most due to its cold hardiness to Zone 5. Foliage emerges red in spring, maturing to green in summer.
In Autumn foliage turns brilliant dark red, and winter brings bright red fruit that cling to its bare branches providing attractive winter interest. It thrives in partial sun in moist, well-drained soils.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in a location with morning sun and afternoon shade; intense, direct afternoon sun can scorch the leaves. Ensure soil is rich, well-draining, and slightly acidic. When planting, keep the root flare visible at the soil surface; never bury the trunk. Water deeply and consistently during the first two growing seasons to establish the root system. Pruning should be minimal; only remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches in late winter or early spring.
