Plant description
Clusters of tiny green flowers, which are surrounded by large, dark pink petal-like bracts, put on a very showy display in early summer. On mature plants the flowers are followed by inedible strawberry-like fruit.
In autumn, there is even more interest when the dark green leaves turn dark reddish purple. This Japanese dogwood is ideal for a shrub border and where space is limited it may be fan-trained against a wall.

How to care for Cornus kousa Miss Satomi:
Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil, adding compost or manure at planting. Position in sun or light shade with space to show off the layered shape. Water regularly while establishing and during dry spells.
Pruning is not needed, as it spoils the natural habit – just remove dead, damaged or crossing branches in late winter if required.

Please note:
This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
