Description
The Scarlet Fire® Dogwood (Cornus kousa ‘Rutpink’) is an exquisite, fast-growing dogwood variety that offers exceptional beauty, extended blooming, and improved disease resistance. Unlike traditional dogwoods, Scarlet Fire® features deep pink to fuchsia flowers that appear in late spring to early summer, standing out against its rich green foliage. This vigorous grower reaches a height of 20-25 feet with a balanced, rounded canopy, making it an ideal specimen tree for residential landscapes.
Beyond its spectacular floral display, Scarlet Fire® shines through every season. In summer, its lush green foliage provides a cooling shade, while in fall, its leaves transform into a striking burgundy-red, creating a breathtaking autumn show. Even in winter, its peeling bark and elegant branching add architectural interest to the landscape.
Thanks to its improved resistance to common dogwood diseases, including powdery mildew and anthracnose, Scarlet Fire® is a low-maintenance and reliable option for gardeners who want bold color and easy care.
