Cornus × rutgersensis Constellation

Cornus x rutgersensis ‘Constellation’ is a beautiful, deciduous dogwood cultivar known for its striking, large white bracts that bloom in late spring. The blooms are set against dark green, glossy foliage that turns a purple red in autumn, adding seasonal interest. This compact tree, reaching 4–6 metres tall, features an attractive, layered branching structure and is ideal for small gardens or as a specimen tree. ‘Constellation’ is also valued for its resistance to common dogwood diseases. Grow in well-drained, neutral to acidic soil and full sun or light shade.
