Cornus Florida Rubra Pink Dogwood

Cornus Florida Rubra Pink Dogwood prefers full sun to part shade and fertile, evenly moist, acidic to neutral, well-drained soils. Rubra Pink Dogwood looks charming with its pink to reddish-pink bracts that surround the center cluster of tiny green flowers in spring. The ornamental tree has mid-green leaves that turn shades of maroon and scarlet in fall. Rubra Pink Dogwood produces rounded, glistening orange-red fruit in summer and has light gray bark that turns gray-brown with an alligator skin-like pattern. It is suitable for specimens and borders.
