Flowering dogwood is a quite unusual and special shrub or small tree which draws your attention all year round: in the spring it has very showy large petal-like coloured bracts, and its leaves turn to beautiful colours early in th autumn. Cherokee Chief has 4 bright pink bracts and rainbow-like autumn coloured leaves, mainly with shades of red and pink. This shrub does not like stress of any kind. Find it a nice spot now so you do not have to transplant it later, it might suffer from diseases thereafter. It needs moist soil.
