Summer Fun Kousa Dogwood gives you more ways to enjoy your landscape from spring through fall. Its green leaves edged in bright white bring a crisp, clean look that stands out even when the tree is not in bloom. When new growth emerges with a pink edge, the display feels even more lively. In late spring, white flower bracts add another layer of beauty, and when cooler weather arrives, the foliage shifts again to radiant shades of red, orange and pink. With a broad upright form, growth of 6-12 inches per year, and Zone 5 hardiness, this is a tree that adds steady value without being hard to place. It grows in sun to part shade, giving you useful flexibility when planning your garden.

Keeps the landscape looking bright even between blooms
Some trees shine for one short moment, then fade into the background. Summer Fun gives you more than a brief seasonal highlight. Its variegated foliage keeps the plant looking fresh and eye-catching long after spring has passed. The bright white leaf margins help light up planting areas, which can make nearby shrubs, perennials and evergreens look even better.

Delivers color in more than one season
This is the kind of tree that keeps giving you something to enjoy. In late spring, white flower bracts provide a soft, elegant accent against the foliage. As the season moves on, the leaves continue to carry the look of the plant. Then in fall, cooler temperatures bring out radiant red, orange and pink tones. That extended color interest helps your landscape feel more finished and rewarding over a longer stretch of the year.

Fits into everyday garden plans with ease
Summer Fun grows 6-12 inches per year, so it develops at a steady, manageable pace. Its broad upright form gives you structure and presence without feeling awkward or overly rigid. That makes it useful as a focal point, a specimen near the home, or part of a mixed planting where you want dependable shape as well as color.

Offers more placement options
Because it grows in sun to part shade, Summer Fun gives you added flexibility when choosing the right location. For many gardeners, that means an easier time finding the perfect spot.
