The Red Dogwood, Cornus florida ‘Cherokee Chief’ is a bit tempermental in my area which is good for mostly Zone 8 though we are close to Zone 9. It does not grow as fast or as well as the native plant or some of the white hybrids. I keep it heavily mulched and feed it azalea-camillia fertilizer twice a year. It is near a high pine over-story so that it gets light in the morning and a good portion of the day. I am quite fond of this as it has taken several plants to find the optimal location in my yard.It has been well worth it!!!
