Cornus kousa 'Schmetterling'

Cornus kousa 'Schmetterling' is a perfect choice for a large shrub or small tree because of its summer interest. However, flower performance is dependent on the previous year's weather conditions. This Japanese dogwood variety is vigorous and upright. It bears masses of large white flower bracts on dark green foliage in summer, which turns scarlet and dark red before falling in autumn. Height: 6m (20'). Spread: 4m (13').
