HOW TO PLANT DOGWOOD SEEDS
When To Plant
Dogwood seeds do best if planted directly outdoors in the Spring or Fall.
Where To Plant
The Dogwood only needs soil that is ordinary and moist, but well drained. They also do well in full sun or partial shade.
How To Plant
The seeds should not be planted deeply; they just need to be compressed into the soil, as they need light to germinate.
If planting in rows, then plant the seeds 36” apart.
How To Care For the Dogwood
These seeds generally germinate in about 2 to 3 months.
Dogwood should be watered regularly, but they can tolerate dry conditions. It is not necessary to fertilize.
It generally takes about 360 days for the Dogwood to bloom after the seed is planted.
