Cornus florida ‘Rubra’ (Pink Flowering Dogwood)

Cornus florida ‘Rubra’, commonly known as Pink Flowering Dogwood, is a beautiful deciduous ornamental tree prized for its spectacular display of rosy-pink to pale pink flower bracts. Its layered, spreading form and attractive green foliage make it an elegant feature tree for gardens, lawns and landscaped spaces, particularly in cooler and temperate climates.

In spring, the branches become covered with showy pink bracts, creating an impressive seasonal display. The foliage develops rich red to burgundy tones in autumn before falling, providing a second season of colour and interest. Slow growing and relatively low maintenance, Pink Flowering Dogwood is an excellent choice as a specimen tree where its graceful form and seasonal changes can be appreciated.
