Venus® Dogwood

The Venus® Dogwood is one of the most outstanding flowering dogwood trees there is. Not only does it have very large, pure-white blooms, a full 6 inches across, but the tree itself is very vigorous, and forms a broad plant, reaching 18 feet in height and well over 20 feet across. In time it will grow even larger. The branches sweep right down to the ground, even in older trees, so give it plenty of room to show off. This is a wonderful specimen for a lawn, or to plant at the edge of a wooded area. It blooms profusely, and it also has excellent red and orange fall colors.

• Very large pure white blooms
• Fall colors of red and orange
• Very vigorous and reliable
• Fully hardy in zone 6
• Resistant to major diseases

The Venus® Dogwood grows best in full sun or light partial shade, such as from overhead deciduous trees. It is one of the most vigorous dogwood trees, and it is fully hardy throughout zone 6. It also has good resistance to powdery mildew and to the deadly anthracnose disease. Plant in moist, rich soil, and although this tree is drought resistant once established, it benefits from watering during extended dry spells. This prize-winning hybrid tree is a top choice of all the flowering dogwoods available.
