This flowering dogwood cultivar is a small, deciduous tree (one of several Rutger's hybrids between C. florida and C. kousa) which typically grows 15 to 30-feet with a low-branching, flat-topped, broadly pyramidal to uniformly broad habit. Profuse bloom appears in spring, with each "flower" (3-4" in diameter) featuring four showy, petal-like, light pink bracts which surround a small, yellowish-green center flower cluster. In autumn the oval, dark green leaves (3-6" long) gradually change to a uniform red to purplish-red. Bright red fruits (poisonous to humans, but loved by birds) mature in early fall and usually persist until mid-December.
