Frequently Asked Questions
How tall and wide does the Pink Flowering Hybrid Dogwood grow?
This tree typically grows 15 to 20 feet tall and spreads 15 to 20 feet wide, making it a great choice for small yards or as a flowering focal point in the landscape.
When does it bloom?
The Pink Flowering Hybrid Dogwood blooms in spring, usually from April to May, with beautiful soft to deep pink blossoms.
Does it need full sun or shade?
Sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon are best for growing this plant. Too much direct sunlight in hot climates may cause leaf scorch.
What type of soil is best?
It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil that’s rich in organic matter. Avoid heavy clay or soils that stay soggy.
Is this dogwood drought-tolerant?
Once established, it has moderate drought tolerance, but it should still be watered during dry spells to keep it healthy and blooming well.
Do I need to prune it every year?
Only light pruning is required to remove dead or crowded branches. Major pruning is not recommended, as the tree blooms on old wood.
Is the Pink Hybrid Dogwood resistant to disease?
Yes, most hybrid dogwoods are bred for better resistance to common issues like dogwood anthracnose and powdery mildew, making them easier to care for than native varieties
Can I plant it near my house or sidewalk?
Yes, with its moderate size and non-invasive roots, it’s safe to plant near buildings or walkways, but always leave enough room for mature spread.
Do I need to fertilize it every year?
Not necessarily. A light feeding once a year in early spring with a balanced fertilizer (like 10-10-10) is enough. Skip fertilizing in the first year.
Will it attract pollinators or birds?
Yes! A butterfly will be attracted to the blooms, and songbirds will be attracted to the red berries in fall.
