This week on The Horti-Culturalists we take a look at another of Stephen's national collections for Plant Trust, the flowering dogwoods, or Cornus. We're looking exclusively at the North American species in this video as they're all in bloom at the moment but we'll look at dogwoods from other regions when they are in bloom later in the season. In this video we cover basic care and talk about Dogwood anthracnose disease which has found it's way into Australia.
The plants we're looking at in this video are:
Cornus nuttallii - the Pacific dogwood
Cornus 'Eddie's White Wonder'
Cornus florida - the flowering dogwood
Cornus florida 'Rubra'
Cornus florida 'Pluribracteata'
