Hyperion® Dogwood — 15 Gallon
(Cornus kousa × Cornus florida ‘Rutcan’ Hyperion®)
Tree Description
The Hyperion® Dogwood is an outstanding ornamental tree known for its large, bright white spring flowers and exceptional disease resistance. In spring, the tree becomes covered in showy white blooms that are larger and more abundant than traditional flowering dogwoods, creating a stunning landscape display.
This hybrid dogwood combines the beauty of the native flowering dogwood with the durability of the Kousa dogwood, resulting in improved vigor and strong resistance to common dogwood diseases. Through the summer, the tree maintains a graceful branching structure with lush green foliage before turning beautiful shades of red and burgundy in fall.
These 15-gallon trees establish quickly and develop into elegant ornamental landscape trees, making them perfect for yards, patios, and landscape focal points.
