Notes
'Rutgan' dogwood (Cornus 'Rutgan') is a tree for use as a specimen. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Pink flowers open in mid to late spring, and the leaves turn color in fall. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Daffodil, Ostrich fern, and Cotoneaster.
