Cornus x. 'Celestial Shadow'
Choose Celestial Shadow Flowering Dogwood if you want a dogwood that earns its space after bloom season; the tradeoff is that the variegated foliage needs a thoughtful spot, not harsh reflected heat.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The leaf contrast gives it value after flowering, so it works well where a plain green tree would fade into the background. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows at a moderate pace, which is helpful for structure but not fast enough for quick coverage. |
| Maintenance | B- | Plan on good siting, watering during establishment, and light corrective pruning rather than treating it as a plant-and-ignore tree. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young trees like this can be browsed or rubbed by deer, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B | It can work in a small yard if you give it room to spread instead of squeezing it against a house or walkway. |
| Screening Value | D | This is an ornamental accent tree, not a dense privacy plant. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this where the foliage can be viewed up close, not tucked in the back of a border where the variegation gets lost.
| Mature Height | 19.5 ft |
|---|---|

Buy it mainly for the foliage; the white flowers are a strong bonus.
Yes, if it has room to branch naturally and is not placed against hot pavement.
No, choose a denser evergreen or shrub if screening is the goal.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
