Ragin' Red™ Flowering Dogwood, or Cornus Florida Ragin' Red™, is a flowering dogwood that is sure to catch anyone’s attention. In late spring, on bare branches, the flower buds open in a stunning display of large, merlot-colored bracts with charming greenish-yellow flowers in the center. When the spring showcase ends, the foliage on this gorgeous tree emerges first as scarlet, next as green, then deepens into dark burgundy. It produces traditional, red, dogwood berries that are a desired food source for wildlife, while at the same time, dazzling with beautiful fall colors. It is a newer variety of Dogwood, and can be compared to Cherokee Chief.

Ragin' Red™ grows from 15 to 20 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide. Native to North America, it can thrive in a wide variety of conditions. Wildlife and songbirds love Ragin' Red™ with its up-right spreading branches. It can be used in many ways, even as a foundation tree in a planter. You can add a bright swath of color to existing woodlands, or edge a row of evergreen trees for shelterbelts.

Ragin' Red™ Flowering Dogwood Care

Ragin' Red™ Flowering Dogwood is easy to grow. It should be planted in a protected area that at least receives morning sun. It can handle full sun if planted in areas where high temperatures don’t persist. In areas with higher temperatures, afternoon shade is recommended. Dogwoods grow best in neutral to slightly acidic soil. Maintain consistent moisture levels throughout the year, especially after planting and during the summer heat. To aid in establishment and water retention, add 3 inches of mulch under the tree after planting. Fertilizing is unnecessary in rich, fertile soils.

Your Ragin' Red™ Flowering Dogwood does not have to be pruned. If you would like to shape your tree, or remove any dead or crossing branches, do so after flowering has ceased for the season. Do not deadhead your dogwood.

Ragin' Red™ Flowering Dogwood Spacing

Ragin' Red™ Dogwoods should be spaced 15 to 25 feet between trees. If you want to plant them next to a border or wall make sure you space out 10 to 12 feet from the object. Companion plants underneath dogwoods should be plants that are shade tolerant and grow low to the ground.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
