Bentham's cornel, also known as Himalayan flowering dogwood, Strawberry dogwood
Bentham's cornel requires a balance of attention to thrive, but is not considered overly difficult to maintain. Key care points include ensuring well-drained soil to prevent root rot, and protection from intense afternoon sun to avoid leaf scorch. Bentham's cornel prefers a cooler, sheltered environment and regular watering, but is tolerant of some drought once established.
