KARENS APPALACHIAN BLUSH FLOWERING DOGWOOD
Cornus florida 'Karen's Appalachian Blush' is more commonly known as Karen's Appalachian Blush flowering dogwood. It is a stunning cultivar of the native flowering dogwood, specifically bred by the University of Tennessee for its exceptional resistance to powdery mildew. This medium sized, deciduous tree is a showstopper in early spring, producing large, overlapping bracts that appear creamy white with a delicate, soft pink blush along the edges. As the season progresses, the dark green summer foliage transitions into a spectacular display of deep red and burgundy in the autumn. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, it is a high-performing "workhorse" in the garden, offering the classic elegance of a native dogwood without the high maintenance typically required to keep fungal diseases at bay.
'Appalachian Blush' Dogwood performs best in full sun to partial shade, though a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade is often the "sweet spot" to prevent leaf scorch in hotter climates. It requires rich, acidic, and well-drained soil and benefits greatly from a thick layer of organic mulch to keep its shallow root system cool and moist. It is ideal as a focal point in a front yard, a specimen in a woodland garden, or as an understory tree nestled beneath larger oaks or maples.
