CHEROKEE 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.
