Stunning red and white blooms that offer year-round interest
The Heart Throb® Dogwood Tree is an exceptional ornamental tree that captivates with its striking red bracts that surround small white flowers in spring, creating a dazzling display. As the seasons change, the tree continues to charm with its lustrous green foliage that transitions to vibrant red and purple hues in the fall. This visual drama not only enhances your yard but also provides a delightful backdrop for any garden or landscape design.
Besides its beauty, this dogwood is known for its compact growth habit, making it an ideal choice for smaller yards or urban landscapes. It typically grows to a manageable height and width, ensuring that it can fit comfortably in tighter spaces while still adding significant visual impact. The Heart Throb® Dogwood also provides valuable habitat for pollinators, allowing you to cultivate a landscape that supports local wildlife.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a location with well-drained soil and partial to full sun for optimal growth. Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Gently loosen any tightly bound roots before placing the tree into the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill the hole carefully and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during the tree's first growing season to establish strong roots. Once established, the Heart Throb® Dogwood prefers average moisture levels but has some drought resistance. Be sure to monitor rainfall and supplement with watering during dry spells, especially in the summer months.
3. Pruning: Prune your Heart Throb® Dogwood in late winter or early spring, just before new growth begins. This encourages a healthy structure and removes any dead or damaged branches. Aim to thin out crowded areas to enhance airflow and light penetration, which is vital for healthy growth and blooming.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize the Heart Throb® Dogwood annually in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. A well-balanced formula will provide necessary nutrients to support healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Follow the package instructions for proper application rates based on the size of your tree.
