Zone: 5RED PYGMY® FLOWERING DOGWOOD
Cornus florida Red Pygmy® is a breakthrough in flowering dogwood breeding, offering the classic beauty of the native species in a remarkably compact, genetic dwarf form. It is celebrated for its oversized, deep rosy-red bracts that smother the branches in late spring, creating a vivid floral display that rivals much larger trees. Despite its small stature which typically reaches just 6-7 feet in height and 4-5 feet in width, it maintains a dense, rounded habit with lush green foliage that turns a spectacular burgundy red fall. This cultivar is an ideal choice for small urban gardens, large containers, or as a vibrant accent in a foundation planting where space is at a premium.
Red Pygmy® Dogwood thrives in morning sun and filtered afternoon shade, as harsh midday sun can scorch its delicate foliage. It thrives in rich, acidic, and well-drained soil that is consistently moist; dogwoods are notoriously sensitive to drought, so they should never be allowed to dry out completely.

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.
