After 16 years of development, Wells Nursery introduced Cornus kousa koreanisis 'Ruby Slippers' in the early 90's. A unique selection of the Korean Dogwood that offers an extended show of color long after the typical dogwoods have finished their explosion of spring color. Offering a superb soft pink flower that darkens and intensifies with maturity, 'Ruby Slippers' blooms from mid May to July. Under optimal conditions, many customers have experienced longer bloom times extending to two months or more. Bloom times will vary based on age of plant, soil conditions, and lighting. Fall color is a classic bright red. A plant choice certainly considered for the collector, but a wonderful addition to any landscape.
