Cornus Capitata Nz

Cornus capitata

Cornus capitata, commonly known as the Evergreen Dogwood, is a striking small tree or large shrub well-suited to New Zealand gardens. It produces creamy white flower bracts in late spring to summer, followed by clusters of red, strawberry-like fruit that attract birds. Its lush, evergreen foliage provides year-round interest, and it performs best in a sunny, sheltered position with free-draining soil. Evergreen Dogwood is ideal for feature planting, adding ornamental beauty and seasonal colour to any landscape.
