Notes

'Cappuccino' Chinese dogwood (Cornus kousa 'Cappuccino') is a tree for borders, specimen planting, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms in early to late spring and draws bees and birds. It grows slowly with an erect habit, so give it a spot where it can mature.

Pairs well with Eden rose, Autumn fern, and Queen of Night tulip.
