Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood 1 Live Tree – Cornus florida ‘Cherokee Princess’ – 1 Gallon Pot – 3–4 ft

Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida ‘Cherokee Princess’) is a deciduous ornamental tree known for its abundant spring display of large, bright white flower bracts. The broad white bracts surround clusters of small, greenish-yellow true flowers, creating a striking seasonal display. This cultivated selection of the eastern North American flowering dogwood is valued for its elegant branching habit and classic white spring blossoms.

During the growing season, rich green leaves complement the tree's graceful, spreading branches. In autumn, the foliage may develop shades of red, burgundy, and purple, while clusters of glossy red fruits provide additional ornamental interest and may attract birds. Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood is well suited to woodland gardens, mixed landscape borders, ornamental tree groupings, and specimen plantings.

Supplied as one live Cherokee Princess Flowering Dogwood tree in a 1 gallon nursery pot, this specimen has a supplier-listed shipping height of 3–4 feet. It generally performs best in partial shade to full sun, with protection from intense afternoon heat in warmer climates. Moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil supports healthy seasonal growth.
