Hi all,

I recently bought a dogwood (arctic fire variety) and planted in an area that gets full sun until around 4pm at which point it is shaded by the fence. Everything else I have planted seems to be doing great but for some reason the dogwood isn't happy.

We had a really good mix of new bagged soil in there, I've watered it plenty but still it's looking very unhappy.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? Any tips for how best to care for this plant? I live in Calgary btw.

Thanks
