Cornus ‘Scarlet Fire’ 1.5" Caliper B&B

This newly developed kousa dogwood cultivar is a real springtime standout. The Scarlet Fire dogwood burst onto the landscaping scene in 2016 with blossoms in a dark pink shade yet to be achieved by other cultivars. The vibrant color has been drawing in homeowners and landscaper alike, with the added appeal of being low-maintenance as well as drought-tolerant. The Scarlet Fire dogwood is a rare find indeed. Consider planting it near utility lines, next to buildings, or near patios . . . and be sure you have a good view of those spring blooms.
