Stellar Pink® Dogwood (Cornus × 'Rutgan') is a deciduous ornamental flowering tree admired for its beautiful soft pink flower-like bracts, graceful branching structure, and attractive green foliage. A hybrid dogwood from the Stellar® series, this selection produces a striking spring display that adds seasonal color and elegance to residential landscapes, woodland gardens, and ornamental planting areas.

During spring, Stellar Pink Dogwood develops showy pink bracts surrounding small, inconspicuous true flowers. The foliage remains green throughout the growing season before developing attractive reddish to burgundy tones in fall, depending on climate and seasonal conditions. Its naturally upright, spreading branching habit makes it suitable as a specimen tree, an ornamental focal point, or an accent in mixed landscape plantings.

You will receive one live Stellar Pink Dogwood tree in a 3 gallon nursery pot. The actual plant size, branching, foliage density, and seasonal appearance may vary depending on nursery growing conditions and the time of year.

Stellar Pink Dogwood is deciduous and naturally loses its leaves during winter dormancy. Plants shipped during colder months may arrive leafless, recently pruned, or without flowers.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
