About Cornus Kousa China Girl 12 Litre Pot 80/100cm Tall
Cornus kousa ‘China Girl’ – The Graceful Flowering Dogwood
Cornus kousa ‘China Girl’ is a compact, ornamental dogwood that delights through all four seasons. In early summer, its branches are smothered in masses of large, creamy-white bracts, creating a dazzling display that lasts for weeks. As summer progresses, these are followed by clusters of red, strawberry-like fruits, adding charm and attracting birds into the garden.
The foliage is equally impressive – lush green in spring and summer, turning a vibrant mix of crimson, orange, and burgundy in autumn. Even in winter, the tree retains an architectural beauty, with a pleasing tiered branch structure.
Perfect as a specimen tree for lawns, patios, or borders, ‘China Girl’ thrives in sun or partial shade and performs best in fertile, well-drained soil. Its compact size and elegant habit make it a superb choice for smaller gardens or as a focal point in mixed planting schemes.
