Cornus kousa ‘Chinensis’ – Elegant Blooms and Vibrant Autumn Colour

Cornus kousa ‘Chinensis’ is a refined ornamental dogwood valued for its spectacular late spring floral display and brilliant autumn foliage. This variety produces large, creamy-white bracts that surround inconspicuous flowers, creating a showy, delicate bloom that brightens any garden.

After flowering, ‘Chinensis’ develops attractive, bright red, raspberry-like fruits that add colour and attract birds through summer and autumn. Its glossy green leaves mature to vivid shades of fiery red and purple in the fall, providing multi-seasonal visual appeal.

This compact tree typically reaches 4–6 metres in height, making it suitable for smaller gardens or as a striking specimen in larger landscapes. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun to partial shade, ideally in a sheltered position to maximise flowering and autumn colour.
