Cloud Nine Flowering Dogwood 1 Live Tree – Cornus florida ‘Cloud Nine’ – 2 Gallon Pot

Cloud Nine Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida ‘Cloud Nine’) is a deciduous ornamental tree admired for its abundant white spring blossoms and elegant branching habit. This flowering dogwood cultivar is especially valued for its showy floral display, featuring large, bright white bracts surrounding clusters of small, greenish-yellow true flowers. The blossoms create a striking seasonal display in woodland gardens, residential landscapes, and ornamental tree plantings.

During the growing season, Cloud Nine Dogwood develops attractive green foliage that provides a lush appearance beneath its naturally spreading branches. In autumn, the leaves often turn shades of red, burgundy, and purple, while clusters of glossy red fruits may provide additional seasonal interest and attract birds. The cultivar is also recognized for its ability to flower at a relatively young age under favorable conditions.

Supplied as one live Cloud Nine Flowering Dogwood tree in a 2 gallon nursery pot, this specimen measures approximately 3 feet tall at the time of shipping. It generally performs best in partial shade to full sun and moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Morning sunlight with protection from intense afternoon heat is especially beneficial in warmer regions.
