Add item to quote to see pricing

Cornus kousa 'Venus' is not just a tree, but a year-round display of natures' finest artistry in your landscape. Known as the Venus Dogwood, it's a proud pick from our Trees category, turning heads with its prominent, creamy white flowers that grace the branches in late spring. It's not just about springtime blooms, though - this resilient performer continues to impress with its glossy green foliage, which undergoes a dazzling transformation into radiant red and rich purple hues during autumn. Reaching an elegant height of 20 to 25 feet, it adds structural allure with its layered branches, holding a montage of strawberry-like fruits that serve as a beacon for birds. Equally impressive is its adaptability; this tree thrives in full sun to partial shade and demonstrates robust drought and disease resistance. Choose the Venus Dogwood for a garden feature that provides aesthetic appeal, wildlife attraction, and year-long interest without the need for exaggerated embellishment.
