Description

Constellation Dogwood transforms any Michigan landscape with a stunning display of showstopping spring blossoms and a refined, architectural form. In early spring, clusters of vibrant white flowers—with subtle hints of pink—unfurl against glossy, dark green leaves, creating a striking contrast that serves as a true statement piece. As the season progresses, the foliage develops a fresh, textured appearance, and in fall, a gentle bronze or red tint adds a touch of seasonal elegance. Perfectly suited to cooler climates, this compact dogwood grows to a manageable size, making it an inspiring choice for urban settings or as a focal point in a sophisticated landscape design.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Requires full sun to partial shade, with at least 6 hours of direct light daily for robust blooming.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil; incorporating organic matter into heavier soils enhances drainage and overall plant health.
  • Watering: Provide consistent moisture during the establishment phase; once established, it thrives with regular watering in Michigan’s cooler conditions.
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature, leaving a small gap around the trunk for proper airflow.
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or crossing branches, maintaining a tidy, elegant form.

Constellation Dogwood adds a beautiful, uplifting accent to Michigan landscapes, offering a polished blend of vibrant spring blooms and refined seasonal interest that truly captivates all year long.
