- Showy Spring Flowers: One of the most striking features of Cornus florida is its profusion of showy, four-petaled flowers that appear in spring. The flowers come in various shades, including white, pink, and red, and they create a beautiful display on the tree's branches. These flowers are often referred to as "bracts," and they surround the true, smaller, yellowish-green flowers in the center.
- Attractive Fall Foliage: In the fall, flowering dogwood trees put on a show with their rich and vibrant foliage. The leaves turn shades of deep red, purplish-red, or burgundy, adding to the tree's ornamental appeal.
- Wildlife Value: The berries produced by Cornus florida are a valuable food source for birds, such as cardinals, bluebirds, and cedar waxwings. This makes the tree a significant contributor to local wildlife habitats and biodiversity.
- Small to Medium Size: Flowering dogwood is a small to medium-sized tree, typically reaching heights of 15 to 30 feet (4.5 to 9 meters). Its relatively modest size makes it suitable for smaller yards and landscapes.
- Landscape Versatility: Cornus florida is a versatile tree that can be used in various landscape settings. It works well as a specimen tree, accent plant, or in group plantings. It is also popular for naturalized or woodland gardens.

Care Instructions
Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
