Cornus Nuttallii ‘Ascona’

This elegant small tree or spreading shrub makes a graceful picture in spring when its light framework of pendulous, spreading branches are festooned with luminous white flowers. The flowers are composed of four large white bracts, often tinged green/pink, surrounding a central green boss. Each one measures 6 to 10cm in diameter. Large, glossy, dark green leaves offer another season of interest in the autumn when they turn vivid shades of red and purple. One of the most beautiful flowering trees, Cornus nuttallii ‘Ascona’ makes a rewarding choice for the back of a border or as a stand-alone feature. Height: 5m (16.5ft). Spread: 6m (20ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
