Cornus florida

Cornus florida or American dogwood is a medium-sized shrub from the east of the USA, which first grows fairly upright and later spreads wide and spreads out. This dogwood blooms profusely with yellow-green fertile flowers surrounded by large white bracts that bloom to pink in late summer and autumn. The leaves are glossy, oval, dark green on top and lighter on the underside, in autumn they take on beautiful orange-red to purple-red autumn colours. The Cornus florida is an elegant plant with landscape value for the larger garden or park planting.
