Stellar Pink Dogwood
Cornus rutgersensis ‘Stellar Pink’
Cornus x rutgersensis 'Stellar Pink' is a celebrated hybrid dogwood from the renowned Rutgers University Stellar series, prized for its vigorous growth, profuse blush-pink blooms, and excellent disease resistance . This small, deciduous tree features a dense, upright habit with a uniform width and elegant, horizontal branching . In late spring, the branches are smothered in large, overlapping, petal-like bracts of soft shell pink to medium pink, arranged around a small, greenish-yellow flower cluster . The dark green, oval foliage provides a lush canopy through summer before turning attractive shades of purple-red in the fall . As a sterile hybrid, it produces no messy fruit, making it an exceptionally clean and low-maintenance landscape specimen .
