pinkish-red flowers, purple foliage, orange-red fall color and tiny

SPRING-FLOWERING
Summer Fun Dogwood (Cornus
kousa 'Summer Fun'). A new Chinese
dogwood with white flower bracts,
and beautiful green and cream variegated foliage. Flowers in June, later
than natives, so it's attractive planted
in combination with other dogwood
species in the landscape.
