Cornus Controversa | 5L Pot

A stunning flowering tree. Position: full sun to part shade Soil: deep, fertile, moisture-retentive soil Rate of growth: slow-growing to average Flowering period: June Hardiness: fully hardy Large clusters of white flowers in June, followed by spherical, blue-black fruit, and glossy, dark green leaves, turning rich red and purple in autumn. The horizontally tiered spreading branches of this deciduous dogwood provide an excellent focal point for a medium to large-sized garden. Rounded in shape, it performs best in fertile, moisture-retentive soil in full sun. Garden care: Incorporate a quantity of well-rotted garden compost or horse manure in the planting hole to improve the moisture-retentive qualities of the soil. The tree requires no regular pruning, since this would interfere with its graceful, tiered habit.
