Appalachian Sunrise Dogwood is a small native deciduous tree with upright layered branching and rounded crown.  Its green foliage turns an attractive red in fall.  Flower clusters with large deep pink brackets with white centers bloom from early to mid spring attracting butterflies.  Prefers part sun and slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soil.  Appalachian Sunrise is resistant to anthracnose.

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.
