Eddie’s White Wonder Dogwood
Cornus ‘Eddie’s White Wonder'
Eddie’s White Wonder is a spectacular hybrid between the native and Kousa dogwoods, combining the best traits of both. It produces an abundance of exceptionally large, pure white bracts in spring, similar to the native type, but inherits much better disease resistance and adaptability from its Kousa parent. It is an excellent choice for a showy, white-flowering dogwood.
