The ‘White Wonder’ Dogwood is a unique hybrid tree known for its exceptional floral display and vigorous growth. It combines the early blooming nature of the Eastern flowering dogwood (C. florida) with the tall, elegant stature of the Pacific dogwood (C. nuttallii). In mid-spring, it produces large, showy white bracts that can reach up to 5 inches across, often blooming in abundance and creating a striking, layered effect across its broad canopy. This hybrid offers a spectacular presence in the landscape, particularly when in full bloom.
‘White Wonder’ grows to a mature height of 25 to 30 feet with a slightly pyramidal to rounded form, making it a strong candidate for specimen planting in residential yards or larger gardens. Its deep green foliage provides summer shade and transitions to soft red and orange hues in the fall, adding seasonal interest. This cultivar is also more tolerant of disease and environmental stress than some native dogwoods, thanks to its hybrid vigor. With its large, luminous flowers, graceful shape, and reliable performance, the ‘White Wonder’ Dogwood is a standout choice for anyone seeking beauty and resilience in one ornamental tree.
