Cornus kousa chinensis - Large Plant- circa 120-140cm

This kousa dogwood is the perfect ornamental shrub or tree to give you a profusion of blooms in late spring as well as amazing architectural structure. Cornus kousa can be kept as a medium sized shrub or small tree depending upon preference and grows with lovely weeping branches that are covered in large mid-green leaves from spring to autumn. Blooming in spring, small green flowers are surrounded by four showy, symmetrical white bracts, displaying stunning pure white colour as well as attracting pollinators. These flowers are followed by unique pinkish-red fleshy almost strawberry-like fruits. This plant is slow growing with an ultimate height and spread of 4-8 metres and with pruning can be maintained at a small size. We recommend planting this at the back or edge of a mixed border to add structure, but his cornus also works amazingly when planting in a pot or lawn as a solo specimen. 

Cornus kousa grows best in full sun or partial shade and prefers moist but well-drained soil, tolerating well-drained soil. It is fully hardy so can establish in exposed or sheltered gardens and can grow in any soil structure or pH. 

Supplied in approx. 10 litre containers.
