Protected Series: STELLAR
Zone: 5AURORA® RUTGERS DOGWOOD
Aurora® Dogwood is a hybrid cross between Cornus florida and Cornus kousa. It was developed as part of the Stellar® series of dogwoods by Rutgers University for its vigorous habit, large, overlapping, bracted, white flowers in early spring and resistance to anthractnose and dogwood borer. Yellowish green leaves turn a showy purple red in fall. Aurora® is sterile and does not produce fruit.
Aurora® Dogwood thrives in full to partial sun in rich, evenly and reliably moist, well-drained soils.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in full sun to partial shade - these hybrids are more adaptable to sun than C. florida. Ensure soil is rich, well-draining, and slightly acidic. When planting, keep the root flare visible at the soil surface; avoid burying the trunk. Water deeply and consistently during the first two growing seasons. Pruning should be minimal; only remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches in late winter or early spring.
