Discover the enchanting allure of Cornus kousa ssp. chinensis 'Milky Way,' commonly known as Milky Way Kousa Dogwood, a spectacular flowering tree that promises to transform your garden. Renowned for its stunning creamy white bracts, this versatile tree blooms in June, creating an awe-inspiring floral display reminiscent of the celestial Milky Way. Thriving in USDA Zones 4 through 8, it reaches an elegant height and width of 15 to 20 feet, featuring a symmetrical, rounded crown and slightly weeping branches that spread gracefully.

With dark green, pointed leaves turning vibrant orange-red to scarlet in autumn, Milky Way Kousa Dogwood provides a captivating foliage display throughout the seasons. Its highly ornamental red berries, maturing in summer, are not only showy but also edible, while drawing birds and butterflies to your garden. Adapted to thrive in hummusy, well-drained soils, it performs exceptionally well in full sun to part shade and is remarkably low maintenance with excellent resistance to common diseases.

Perfect as a specimen tree or as part of a group in shrub borders and woodland gardens, this tree’s year-round interest, including its mottled, exfoliating bark, makes it an exceptional choice for any landscape project. Witness the splendor of nature with Milky Way Kousa Dogwood — a celestial garden treasure.
