Little Poncho Dogwood is a dwarf, white-flowering dogwood tree. You can use Little Poncho as a potted patio plant in zones 7 to 8, but you'll need to overwinter it in a garage in zone 6. Little Poncho blooms later in the season than most other dogwood varieties, but you’ll enjoy an abundance of large flowers. After flowering, spiky red-orange fruits appear, and in the fall, the leaves change to red and scarlet.
