We are delighted to be able to offer this stunning new variety. After almost 20 years of development, Cornus Venus, which is a cross between Cornus nuttallii and Cornus kousa chinensis, has already gained the acclaim of European nurseryman after winning a prestigious trade award last year.
This deciduous plant produces extremely large creamy-white bracts, often with a diameter of 15cm (6 inches), that almost cover the plant between mid to late May and last three weeks, and contrast dramatically with the large, glossy green leaves. 'Venus' is vigorous, reaching 3-4m high (12-16ft) with a spread of 2m (6ft), but can be controlled with pruning. At a young age the plant produces a superb display of unusual, knobbly raspberry-like fruit buds after the flowers have faded and these last well into autumn. Venus has amazing beautiful autumn colour in shades of yellow, orange and violet adding an extra season of interest.
Cornus Venus needs neutral to acid, moisture retentive soil.
