Cherokee Princess Dogwood

Buy Cherokee Princess Dogwood trees for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida.

Cherokee Princess Dogwood (Cornus florida ‘Cherokee Princess’) is a beautiful native flowering tree known for its abundant, large white blooms in early spring. The bright blossoms appear before the leaves fully emerge, creating an impressive display in woodland gardens, shaded landscapes, and mixed borders.

After flowering, attractive green foliage fills the canopy and turns shades of red, burgundy, and purple in fall. Red berries may develop later in the season, providing food for birds and other wildlife.

North Florida Growing Note: Cherokee Princess Dogwood grows well in North Florida and the Florida Panhandle. For best results, plant it where it receives morning sun and afternoon shade, especially when young. Protect it from harsh reflected heat and keep the root zone evenly moist but not waterlogged.
