In mid to late spring, the Radiant Rose Dogwood produces an abundance of gorgeous pink flowers with glowing lighter centers and pointed petals that will light up your garden. The flowers are followed by numerous clusters of large, edible strawberry-like fruits in summer that persist through fall. Handsome foliage remains rich-green, unblemished, and healthy throughout the warm season until leaves turn shades of bright scarlet to burgundy red in fall, hanging on the tree for a much longer color show than native dogwood species.
