Cornus Florida Rubra
There is an old belief that dogwoods like partial shade, but the fact is, they are healthier in full sun so long as they are provided with sufficient irrigation. When grown in the sun they gain height & width more rapidly, have more leaves & many more flowers. It requires soil with good drainage but is otherwise forgiving of a wide range of soil conditions.
The pink dogwood's flowers in late April and early May are followed by clusters of bright red fruits.
