Dogwood 'Venus'
Cornus 'KN30-8'
Venus is a hybrid dogwood variety that is a cross between Cornus kousa and Cornus nuttallii. In the spring, huge creamy-white flowers cover the tree. Glossy green leaves turn shades of yellow, red, orange and purple in the fall. Venus has excellent tolerance to drought and disease.
Flowering Dogwoods grow best in full to part sun with acidic to neutral, fertile, well-drained soil. Consistent moisture is appreciated during dry spells, and drainage is very important to their survival, especially over winter. We recommend planting them in a sheltered area protected from winter winds.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available May through August, depending on suppliers availability.
