The Cornus kousa ‘Moonbeam’ is an exquisite, slow-growing deciduous dogwood that brings ethereal beauty and seasonal interest to the home garden. Valued for its sophisticated structure and luminous floral display, this cultivar serves as a refined focal point in any landscape.

From late spring to early summer, the branches are cloaked in an abundance of large, creamy-white, star-shaped bracts. These distinct blooms create a soft, radiant effect that illuminates the garden, remaining on the tree for several weeks to provide long-lasting color. With its graceful, vase-shaped habit, ‘Moonbeam’ is an ideal choice for those seeking both form and flair.
