'Cherokee Princess' flowering dogwood is probably the most commonly offered white flowering dogwood available in the central KY area, and most likely in the whole Ohio River valley region.

It is a precocious plant (flowering heavily on young plants), establishes easily and grows well. It is subject to the same pest problems as all the rest of Cornus florida, but these are not severe issues if the plant is healthy, well-sited, and reasonably cared for.
