Cornus florida 'Cloud 9' (Flowering Dogwood) Tree

Cornus florida ‘Cloud 9’ – Flowering Dogwood

‘Cloud 9’ is a floriferous flowering dogwood with broad, spreading branches and an abundant display of overlapping white bracts in spring. It blooms early, typically from mid-April into May, with flowers that attract butterflies and other pollinators.

Glossy red fruit develops in fall and often persists into winter, providing food for birds including robins, catbirds, and mourning doves. The foliage turns scarlet red in autumn, while the branching structure continues to add interest after the leaves fall.
