May be grown from seed sown in fall when ripe, in some protected location; seed typically requires a double dormancy before germination, which is irregular. Often easier from cuttings taken in summer, or by simple layering at this time; rooted suckers may also be divided off if produced. Consistently moist, fertile and well-draining soil, and sun to part shade. Zone 4-9

Cornus florida, flowering dogwood, hardy zones 5-9; Cornus kousa, in zones 5-8
