The Cherokee Princess Dogwood is a popular cultivar of the native Flowering Dogwood tree. It is highly regarded for its abundant and showy white flowers that bloom in early spring, typically before the leaves emerge. The flowers are larger than those of the typical Flowering Dogwood and create a stunning display against the tree's dark green foliage. It prefers partial shade and well-drained soil.
