Aurora® Rutgers Dogwood

Creamy spring blooms, sturdy performance, and year-round elegance, a dogwood made to shine where conditions are less than perfect FEATURES: In spring, bright green leaves with a glossy shine emerge before the blooms, providing a vivd backdrop once they do Four petaled, snow-white flowers emerge in mid to late spring The bright green foliage turns a vibrant shade of red as fall weather takes over Disease resistant, cold hardy, and low maintenance Wonderful when planted in shade gardens, along a wooded line, or as a specimen tree in the landscape Hand Selected, Fresh from the Grower Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree - does not fit in a box  Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:  Build a “quiet backdrop” around it. Choose a few steady, dark greens nearby, think hollies, boxwood, or inkberry, then add one pop of seasonal color at the feet like white bulbs in spring or warm-toned perennials in summer. The tree becomes the centerpiece, and the surrounding plants act like a frame, not competition.
