ℹ Cornus kousa ‘Summer Gold’ is a sport from a seedling crop of Cornus kousa. Distinctly upright in form, as opposed to other gold-variegated dogwoods, ‘Summer Gold’ has uniform yellow variegation, uncrinkled leaves and a strong growing habit.(Z4-8). This colorful selection has eye catching mid green foliage with colorful broad golden yellow margins. In early spring this elegant tree is covered in a mass of star shaped white dogwood flowers that look stunning on a perfect back drop of green/gold variegated foliage! Summer foliage slowly turns to soft flamingo pink then transforming to a fabulous flaming red by fall! Get this outstanding selection of kousa dogwood and enjoy its beauty in each season!
