Cornus Kousa ‘Heart Throb’

A change from the usual white Cornus kousa, ‘Heart Throb’ is adorned with pale pink bracts from late May to June. A free-flowering variety, the showy flowers are composed of 4 petal-like bracts surrounding a central boss and will last as long as 6-8 weeks. This robust, multi-stemmed tree makes a graceful specimen for small to medium gardens, its deep green, pointed leaves drooping down on horizontally tiered branches. It makes a superb feature tree offering multiple seasons of interest, the flowers followed by attractive strawberry-like red fruits and crimson-red autumn foliage. Maximum height and spread after 10 years: 2.5m (8ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
