POWELLS PEACH FLOWERING DOGWOOD
Cornus florida 'Powell's Peach' is a cultivar of the native flowering dogwood, valued for its unique peach-colored floral bracts. Unlike the more common white or pink varieties, 'Powell's Peach' offers a soft, warm hue that illuminates the landscape in mid-to-late spring. Powells Peach typically grows to a height of 18 feet with a graceful, horizontal branching habit that provides four-season interest. Following its spring display, it produces lush green foliage that transitions into a vibrant red-purple in fall, accompanied by clusters of bright red berries that serve as a vital food source for songbirds and other wildlife.
'Powell's Peach' Dogwood thrives in well-drained, acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. While it can tolerate full sun in cooler climates, it performs best in partial shade, ideally receiving morning sunlight and protection from the harsh afternoon heat. Because dogwoods have shallow root systems, maintaining consistent moisture is critical. Powells Peach Dogwood is ideal as a specimen tree, particularly near patios, decks or entryways where its unique color can be appreciated up close. Due to its relatively small stature, it makes a perfect fit for smaller urban dwellings.
