ℹ This newly developed Kousa Dogwood cultivar is a real spring time standout. The Scarlet Fire dogwood burst onto the landscaping scene in 2016 with blossoms in a dark fuchsia shade yet to be achieved by other cultivars. The foliage of Scarlet Fire emerges green with purple streaking that eventually becomes solid green by summer. The vibrant color has been drawing in homeowners and landscaper alike, with the added appeal of being drought tolerant and low maintenance. The Scarlet Fire Dogwood is a rare find indeed.
