The Chicago Botanic Garden's collection includes almost 100 varieties of dogwood from 20 species (7 of which are native) and over 2,400 plants. The genus includes 45-60 species, divided into subgenera about which taxonomists disagree. The dominant display, however, varies among the species.ĭogwoods are native to cooler temperate areas of North America and Asia.
