A golden-leafed spring charmer that finishes the year in bright pumpkin-orange fall color
FEATURES:
- Soft yellow foliage brings a glowing, sunlit look through the growing season
- New growth shows burgundy tones for extra depth and contrast, especially in spring
- Spring bloom delivers showy dogwood bracts, with this selection noted for an ample white-bracted display
- Fall color is a brilliant orange that inspired the name, with gold mixed in for a full harvest palette
- Bright cherry-red fruit adds a pop of color as autumn builds
- Orange twigs carry the color into winter for a final encore
- Hand Selected; Fresh from the Grower
- Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree – does not fit in a box
Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:
Give it a generous mulch ring and keep the base uncluttered so the branching and foliage color stay the star, then surround it with calm, darker greens like inkberry or boxwood and soft textures like ferns or ornamental grasses; that contrast makes the yellow leaves look even richer and helps the fall pumpkin tones feel intentional, not accidental, like you planned the whole thing with a designer and a latte in hand.

Why plant Pumpkin Patch Flowering Dogwood?
This is the dogwood for people who want their landscape to feel like it has seasons, not just weather. Pumpkin Patch brings a rare combination: luminous yellow foliage through summer, a clean spring bloom, and then a fall finish that leans hard into pumpkin-orange with warm gold tones, plus red fruit for extra sparkle. It was discovered as a chance seedling by nurseryman Don Shadow, and it has that collector-plant vibe, unusual, memorable, and the kind of tree guests ask you about before they even take their shoes off. One honest note for real life: it has been reported to show some susceptibility to powdery mildew in hot, humid weather, so good airflow and smart siting help keep it looking its best.
How to use Pumpkin Patch Flowering Dogwood in the landscape?
Plant this dogwood where you can enjoy the color changes up close, near an entry walk, beside a patio, or as a feature in a front yard bed that needs a bright lift. It also shines at the edge of a woodland, tucked into dappled light, where the yellow foliage glows against deeper greens and the fall color reads like a lantern in the trees. Flowering dogwoods are classic for layering with evergreens, hydrangeas, and shade-friendly perennials, giving you a composed look in spring and summer and a full seasonal finale in autumn.
Frequently Asked Questions
Flowering dogwoods have small yellow-green true flowers surrounded by showy bracts, and this selection is noted for a white-bracted spring display.
Water deeply and consistently through the first growing season, mulch to retain moisture, and plant in moist, well-drained, organic-rich soil. Dogwoods prefer slightly acidic soil and appreciate protection from extreme drought.
Prune lightly after flowering or in late winter to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Improving airflow can be especially helpful in hot, humid regions.
