Cornus Dogwood 4,5l

Description

Dogwood Tree

A timeless favourite for gardens and landscapes, the Dogwood tree is celebrated for its graceful form, showy spring blooms, and year-round beauty. In spring, it bursts into a display of large, petal-like bracts in shades of white, pink, or red, followed by lush green summer foliage that turns brilliant red, purple, or orange in autumn. Many varieties also offer attractive berries that invite birds, and distinctive bark that adds winter interest.
