Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a spot in your yard that receives full to partial sun. If you live in a higher, sunnier zone, your dogwood will appreciate some shade.?
Scarlet Fire flowers will achieve the most dramatic color if planted in a well-draining, acidic soil, too. It takes about two years for the Scarlet Fire flowers to develop their fuchsia color – they will remain a lighter pink without sufficient light and soil quality.
When planting, make sure to dig a hole 2 times wider and just as deep as the tree??s root ball.??
2. Watering: Your dogwood needs about an inch of water each week. If it??s not receiving this much rain, make sure to water it accordingly.
3. Fertilizing: If you plant your dogwood in fall, add mulch around its roots in winter.?
4. Pruning: Prune your dogwood in late winter to ensure the tree grows vigorously in spring.
