Given the size, I was afraid it might be damaged, but to my great surprise, it was even more beautiful than I had imagined. I am eagerly awaiting its flowering.

Description

This dogwood is an exquisite creation of Princess Sturdza at the Vasterival Garden. It combines the beauty of Cornus Kousa with a long flowering period from June to August. After flowering, it produces strawberry-shaped fruits and takes on beautiful red colours in autumn. The plant is very hardy and prefers slightly acidic, humus-rich soil that remains moist.
