Cornus kousa 'Tri Splendour'

Native to Japan and Korea, Cornus kousa is a large shrub or tree with two good seasons of interest. In early summer it bears white bracts with tiny flowers in the centre, set against the green leaves, and in autumn the leaves flare bronze and crimson. In a good year there will also be strawberry-like pink fruit in autumn.

Cornus kousa 'Tri Splendour' has wonderful variegated foliage in green and white with shades of gold on new growth. These turn a beautiful red in autumn. It's an ideal choice for a small garden.

Grow Cornus kousa 'Tri Splendour' in rich soil with well-rotted compost, in full sun to partial shade.
