Commonly known as the Magic Dogwood, this subspecies is distinguished by its remarkable fused flower bracts, which unfurl into captivating spirals and intricate shapes during the flowering phase, presenting a visually stunning botanical display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a stature reaching 10-20 feet, this species exhibits notable frost hardiness, enduring temperatures as low as 10\u00b0F or possibly lower. This characteristic makes it well-suited for cultivation in regions falling within the 6-7 hardiness zones. The deciduous nature of the Mexican Flowering Dogwood is complemented by an ornamental profusion of white flowers, each showcasing nature&#8217;s unique craftsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"1801\" src=\"https:\/\/earthunreal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/mexicandogwood.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/earthunreal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/mexicandogwood.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/earthunreal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/mexicandogwood-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theeasygarden.com\/threads\/varieties-hard-to-find-but-dream-of-getting.10664\/page-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Easy Garden<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"1802\" src=\"https:\/\/earthunreal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/mexicandogwoodcloseup.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/earthunreal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/mexicandogwoodcloseup.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/earthunreal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/mexicandogwoodcloseup-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/earthunreal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/mexicandogwoodcloseup-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theeasygarden.com\/threads\/varieties-hard-to-find-but-dream-of-getting.10664\/page-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Easy Garden<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Adapted to thrive in filtered sunlight as a natural understory tree, this species is also amenable to container cultivation, benefitting from protection against the intense afternoon sun.
