Cornus kousa 'Weisse Fontaine'

Cornus kousa 'Weisse Fontaine'

Cornus kousa 'Weisse Fontaine' is a stunning small deciduous flowering dogwood with a graceful, cascading habit. In early summer, its branches become laden with masses of pure white flower bracts that drape elegantly from the stems, creating the fountain-like effect that gives this exceptional variety its name.

Following the floral display, attractive red-pink edible fruits develop in late summer, providing additional seasonal interest and a valuable food source for wildlife. The rich green foliage remains handsome throughout the growing season before transforming into brilliant shades of brick red, pink and gold during autumn.

Ideal as a specimen tree for smaller gardens, this award-worthy dogwood thrives in fertile, humus-rich soils and requires little to no pruning. Its elegant shape, beautiful flowers and outstanding autumn colour make it a superb choice for year-round garden interest.
