One of the deepest dark pink-red flowers of the florida dogwoods out there! Large bracts cover this 15-30' tree in late-spring making it quite a show! Deep-green foliage, persistent red fruits and gorgeous scarlet fall color all add to the pretty picture. This would make a lovely focal point; this cultivar is quite study and healthy too! S-PSh/M
