The Velvet Fog smokebush is the most floriferous we have ever seen.That means you get more of what this perennially popular flowering shrub does best: big, showy, smoky seedheads in summer. The red-pink plumes make a really nice, appealing contrast with the blue-green foliage. Fantastic planted as a specimen or hedge, thanks to its lush, full branching and form.

Prized for its showy 6 to 8″ plumes that change from grayish to pink form June into August, this selection also has a super maroon to purplish red foliage that really makes it stand out. Mostly pest-free, great in groups or as an accent.

If this stunning new selection doesn’t catch your customers’ attention, you’ll want to check their pulses!! Brilliant, golden-yellow foliage adorns this robust, rounded smokebush throughout the summer, coloring the landscape in a manner rarely seen before. Grayish to pink plumes appear above the foliage from June through August giving way to a coral to orange fall foliage show that redefines the word showy. You’ll love this colorful chameleon!

You may have heard all the bad news about growing pink Dogwoods but this Cornus florida, Cornus kousa cross should get every Dogwood lover excited because of its great flower color and its great disease resistance. ‘Stellar Pink’ forms a dense, rounded tree that thrives in full sun to partial shade and shows significant resistance to anthracnose, the disease that has plagued many older, native pink Dogwoods. Not only is this selection easier to grow, its flower power is just so impressive! 3 to 4″ diameter flowers open in early to mid-May and cover the tree in a blanket of pink. This showy specimen continues to shine in summer and fall with bright red, bird attracting fruit and a purple-red fall foliage show that can only be called stellar!

Breathtaking deep rose pink, overlapping flower bracts with red toned edges late May to early June. Bred to be more disease resistant, more drought resistant, and more floriferous than the Dogwood you’re used to! Long lasting bloom time for 3 or more weeks for a long show of spring color. Bright burgundy autumn foliage will light up your landscape for another blast of color in the fall.

Be dazzled by the the huge, deep, dark fuschia-pink flower bracts that will light up the rounded small tree in June. Bred at Rutgers University, this precocious tree grows quickly and blooms as a very young tree showing off brilliant color almost right away in the landscape. Superb burgundy fall foliage color and large, bird attracting fruit add to its glory.

Here’s a plant with landscape gifts that should demand a place in anyone’s yard! Dense and full with showy, red emerging foliage that fades to a pleasing, lustrous green, ‘Satomi’s’ true gift is its profuse, long bloom time stretching from early June to early July and it’s light pink flowers, still a rarity in this type of dogwood. Disease resistant and mostly pest-free, ‘Satomi’ ends the season with a healthy set of bird-attracting red fruit and a reddish purple fall foliage display that is a show in itself.

While Cornus florida selections welcome spring, kousa selections like ‘Radiant Rose’ welcome summer with their mid-June, long lasting bloom that keeps them showy right into July. ‘Radiant Rose’ is one of the great pink kousa selections that distinguishes itself with flowers that mature deeper in color than the others offering a bolder show in the landscape. ‘Radiant Rose’ is a profuse bloomer whose bracts slowly size, emerging light pink only to darken as they mature. Like all kousa types, ‘Radiant Rose’ will tolerate full sun far better than the florida selections and is a dense, rounded tree with shiny, deep green foliage. ‘Radiant Rose’ is a perfect small specimen that has even more interest than its bloom with spectacular burgundy-red fall color, large red, songbird attracting fruit and a mottled bark that is subtly spectacular in winter.

‘Heart Throb’ will find a place near and dear to your heart once you experience its incredible, long lasting bloom. Like all kousa Dogwoods, ‘Heart Throb’ has a landscape pleasing, rounded shape with deep green, trouble free foliage. What other kousa varieties don’t have is the flower show of ‘Heart Throb’. Flower buds unfurl in June to reveal big, rose-pink bracts that form a ‘flower’ that can be up to 4″ in diameter. This huge bloom is set off by the deep green foliage and can last 4 to 6 weeks depending on the weather. It’s an unforgettable show, but ‘Heart Throb’ is not finished showing off once the bloom is gone. Fall sees bird-attracting, large red fruit that contrasts well with the deep, purplish-red fall foliage color that sets this small tree alight. You won’t find a better small specimen tree anywhere or one with more year round beauty!

Vigorous growth habit produces deep red blooms, large red berries and an exceptional burgundy-red fall color. Season-long deep green foliage color makes this an excellent four-season dogwood. Very resistant to powdery mildew.
