HEART THROB® CHINESE DOGWOOD

The Heart Throb® Chinese Dogwood is a unique flowering dogwood that has a compact, rounded habit with ovate, pointed, blue-green leaves that turn deep red-burgundy in fall. In spring, large dark rose-pink flower bracts unfurl and last for one to two months - longer than other varieties. Raspberry-like fruits appear in late summer/fall that attract all kinds of wildlife. Exfoliating bark on mature trees add winter interest.
