Cherokee Brave Dogwood is a low branching small native deciduous tree with a rounded habit. Its leaves are a dark green that turns rust-red in fall.  Cherokee Brave Dogwood is a heavy bloomer that has large clusters of flowers that emerge with red brackets that mature to white in early spring and attract 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.
