Cornus florida ‘Erica’s Appalachian Sunrise’ – Flowering Dogwood

‘Erica’s Appalachian Sunrise’ is a North American native flowering dogwood with deep pink bracts accented by white centers in spring. The colorful bracts surround the tree’s small true flowers, creating a distinctive two-tone display.

Burgundy-toned foliage emerges in spring, followed later in the season by showy red fruit that provides food for birds and other wildlife. Growth is typically slow when young, becoming more moderate once the tree is established.
