Stellar Pink ® Dogwood is a hybrid cross between Cornus florida and Cornus kousa. It was developed as part of the Stellar® series of dogwoods by Rutgers University. It is noted for its vigorous habit, large-bracted flowers, profuse blooms and resistance to anthracnose and dogwood borer. It is a small deciduous tree with a dense, upright habit.
The beautiful clumps of pinkish-red flowers bloom atop the branches in mid spring. The soft pink floral bracts on this cultivar are rounded and overlapping. Oval to elliptic, dark green leaves turn attractive shades of purple-red in the fall. The gray peeling bark adds additional interest to the winter landscape. 'Stellar Pink' is a great choice for a front yard accent tree. Deer tolerant.
