Empress of China® Dogwood is an evergreen tree that works well as an accent plant in the landscape. It will add year-round interest, but is spectacular when it showcases hundreds of creamy white blooms in the early summer. It is characterized by a graceful habit with branches that hold up to 150 blooms each, which eventually transform into translucent strawberry-like fruit. This vigorous grower reaches 15 to 18 feet high and 13 to 15 feet wide at maturity. It thrives in full- to partial-shade and is hardy to USDA zone 6.

The Gold Medal Plant Program https://botgarden.uga.edu/explore/goldmedalplants.php was established to promote the use of superior ornamental plants in Georgia. Visit https://southernlivingplants.com to learn more.
