Coral Red Dogwood: Vibrant Color for Year-Round Beauty

The Coral Red Dogwood is native to North America and can primarily be found in the northern and western parts of the United States. Its growth extends to the west of parts of Mexico and can be seen as far east as Kentucky and Virginia, but these areas are far from their natural habitat. It is a perennial shrub with many landscaping uses. It is excellent for creating borders and a hedge privacy screen. It is sustainable in urban areas due to its tolerance to pollution. Also, it is often used to assist with erosion control.

Why Coral Red Dogwood Is Perfect for Your Landscape

The shrubs bloom in late spring and early summer. During May through July, the foliage is green. It is a vascular plant with lignified tissues guiding water and minerals throughout the plant. The Coral Red Dogwood is a blooming plant that produces small white flowers during the summer. These flowers produce seeds for reproduction. In the winter, the stems of the plant turn red. The shrub is exciting and appealing to the eye year-round due to its seasonal transitions.

The shrub can grow anywhere between 6 feet to 18 feet in height. The width can grow to be anywhere from 5 to 8 feet wide. It can get large and appear to look like a tree. The size is what makes it helpful in creating a privacy hedge.

How to Grow and Care for Coral Red Dogwood Shrubs

The Coral Red Dogwood Shrub prefers moist and well-drained soil. However, it can grow along bodies of water such as rivers, ponds, and creeks and in wetland areas. Although it prefers moisture, it does not like long-term root saturation. It likes nitrogen-rich soil and tolerates changing water tables. The shrub grows best in an environment of direct sunlight or partial shade.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Plant bare-root shrubs during the more excellent spring or fall months, from November through April. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root system and slightly more profound than its height. Position the shrub so that the top of the roots is level with the ground, and put back the soil dug over the roots. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, ensuring the mulch does not touch the shrub's stem. Water regularly, especially during the first year, to establish strong roots. Prune shrubs as needed to promote healthy growth. In the spring, fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer suited to the specific needs of the shrub.
