Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

Flowering Dogwood is a small, low branching native deciduous tree with a broadly-pyramidal habit.  Its dark green leaves turn turn an attractive red in fall. The tiny green flowers surrounded by large white brackets start blooming from early spring before the foliage emerges and continues to mid spring attracting butterflies.  Prefers part sun and slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soil. 

Cornus florida is a host for Spring Azure butterfly and Cecropia Silkmoth, and supports several specialized bees.  The fruits are browsed by songbirds and mammals.  Learn more about planting for butterflies with Georgia natives with this brochure.
