Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Does not like full afternoon sun, even with shaded roots. Grows best in medium moisture and an acidic, well-drained soil.

Additional Notes about Constellation Dogwood:

The showy flowers seen on some cornus cultivars are actually bracts surrounding the smaller, inconspicuous flower in the centre.
