Cornus k. Scarlet Fire® #5

This variety of Kousa Dogwood produces large, dark pink to fuchsia blooms in early summer. Young plants start out as upright and vase shaped, later becoming more rounded with horizontally spreading branches. It likes moist, well-drained, somewhat acidic soil in sun to part shade, but is more adaptable than Cornus florida. Grows 20-25' tall and 15-20' wide. Hardy to Zone 5.
