Cornus florida 'Appalachian Spring'
The Cornus florida 'Appalachian Spring' Flowering Dogwood is a small ornamental tree known for its resilience and beauty. Discovered at Camp David, this cultivar demonstrates high resistance to anthracnose, a common issue for Dogwoods. It grows at a moderate rate once established, developing an upright form. In spring, it displays large white bracts that stand out against its green leaves. As autumn approaches, the foliage transforms into a striking reddish-purple hue. This Dogwood thrives in moderately rich, well-drained soil that remains evenly moist. It is well-suited for use in shrub borders or as an accent near water features.
