Venus Dogwood

Venus Dogwood (Cornus x 'KN30-8')Venus Dogwood (Cornus x 'KN30-8') is a vigorous, disease resistant hybrid famed for its enormous creamy white flower bracts and robust, symmetrical habit. Bred from Cornus kousa, Cornus nuttallii, and Cornus capitata, it delivers one of the most dramatic late spring displays of any dogwood, followed by clean summer foliage and rich burgundy purple fall color in a fast maturing, landscape ready tree.Distinctive FeaturesMasses of creamy white bracts often 4 to 6 inches across blanket the canopy in late spring to early summer, creating a striking, star like show that reads from a distance. Broad, glossy, deep green leaves stay clean through heat and humidity, then color richly in fall. The broad, rounded crown develops quickly with strong, well spaced branches for high ornamental value. Unlike many flowering dogwoods, 'Venus' shows excellent resistance to anthracnose and powdery mildew and is sterile, producing no fruit.Growing Conditions Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade. Soil: Moist, well drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil....
