About Cornus kousa 'Satomi'

Cornus kousa 'Satomi', also known as the Pink Flowering Dogwood, captivates with its spectacular display of rosy-pink, petal-like bracts that appear in abundance from late spring to early summer.

As an extra bonus, modest strawberry-like red fruits appear in summer, attracting birds and adding even more interest.
