Cornus kousa ‘Weisse Fontaine’ is an elegant deciduous flowering dogwood grown for its generous white summer bracts and graceful branching habit. In early to mid-summer, creamy-white bracts appear along the branches, forming a bright display above rich green foliage. Decorative red fruits may follow later in the season, while the leaves develop warm red to orange-red shades in autumn before falling to reveal the tree’s refined structure. Fully hardy in UK conditions, it prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil and performs best in full sun or light shade, making it an excellent specimen tree for gardens seeking reliable seasonal interest.
