The Stellar Pink Dogwood, also known as Cornus x rutgersensis 'Stellar Pink,' is a hybrid variety of dogwood tree.
This particular dogwood tree is known for its stunning pink flowers that bloom in the spring. The flowers are actually bracts, which are modified leaves that surround the true flowers. The bracts are a vibrant pink color and create a lovely display.
The Stellar Pink Dogwood is also a relatively small tree, reaching a height of about 15-20 feet at maturity. It has a rounded shape and attractive green foliage that turns reddish-purple in the fall.
When it comes to planting and care, the Stellar Pink Dogwood prefers a location with partial shade and well-drained soil. It's important to provide regular watering, especially during dry periods, to keep the tree healthy.
