Pink Japanese Dogwood

Cornus kousa 'Satomi'

This disease resistant selection of pink flowering dogwood is a great replacement for more problem-prone cultivars. In June white flushed pink buds open and quickly become a rich rose-pink. The bright color stands out against the clean green leaves and will last longer than earlier flowering dogwood blooms.
