Starlight Chinese Dogwood
Cornus kousa x nutallii 'Starlight' is a stunning hybrid of two dogwood species known for its beautiful variegated foliage and profuse flowering. This deciduous tree typically grows to a height of 20-25 feet and a spread of 15-20 feet at maturity. The foliage of 'Starlight' is variegated, with creamy white and green leaves that are particularly striking when backlit by the sun. In the early summer, it produces an abundance of showy, white flowers that are tinged with pink, creating a beautiful contrast against the variegated foliage. It's a relatively easy-to-grow tree that prefers well-drained soil and partial shade to full sun. It is also tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions, making it a versatile addition to any landscape. 'Starlight' is an excellent choice as a specimen plant or as a focal point in a mixed border. It can also be used to create a stunning seasonal display when planted alongside other flowering trees or shrubs.
