Notes
'Ozark Spring' dogwood (Cornus Florida 'Ozark Spring') is a tree for borders, specimen plantings, and shade gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. White flowers open from early to late spring and attract butterflies, bees, and birds. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It grows at a moderate pace.
