Description
Cornus Kousa 'China Girl' is an interesting bush for its scarlet red foliage in autumn, as well as for its very abundant 10 cm (3.9 in) diameter flowers.
The 'China Girl' Kousa Dogwood is a tree with a wide cone shape and cracked bark. The leaves are deciduous, measuring 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3.1 in) long, ovate with wavy edges and dark green turning scarlet red in autumn. Its foliage is very dense. The small green flowers, measuring 0.5 to 1 cm (0.2 to 0.4 in) in diameter, form clusters surrounded by 4 large white bracts measuring 5 cm (2 in) long. The flowering is very abundant in June. At maturity, this Cornus can reach a height of 6m (20ft). The fruits, which appear in September, resemble dark pink strawberries measuring 2.5 to 3 cm (1 to 1.2 in).
The species is compact and hardy (-20° (-4 °F)), making it suitable for all climates.
It is very decorative in spring for its flowering and in autumn for its beautiful scarlet red foliage. It is interesting as a stand-alone bush for small gardens, in flower beds, as well as in hedges. It can be associated with other bushes, for example in your ericaceous flower beds. It makes a perfect companion for rhododendrons.

Planting and care
Cornus Kousa China Girl is best planted in a sunny or partially shaded environment. It thrives in the warmth, which aids its flowering, and is sensitive to late spring frosts. Place it in an ordinary soil with minimal limestone and a tendency towards acidity. The soil should be moist but well-drained. It can be planted in spring or autumn (frost-free). Easy to grow, the Kousa Dogwood requires little maintenance. Beware of parasitic attacks such as anthracnose, which can cause severe damage.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
