dogwood for spectacular flowering and a naturally upright habit. In spring, branches carry masses of large creamy-white bracts reaching about 13 cm across. Flowering is so abundant that it can almost completely hide the foliage. It also flowers about a week before Venus®, extending the flowering season when both varieties are grown together. Dark green foliage, red fall colour and remarkable disease resistance make it especially appealing for landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pépinière Casse-Noisette","offers":[{"title":"3' to 4'","offer_id":51398551273711,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4' to 5'","offer_id":51398551306479,"sku":null,"price":79.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3824\/0239\/files\/Captured_ecran2026-11-03122634.png?v=1793726815","url":"https:\/\/nutcrackernursery.com\/products\/starlight-hybrid-dogwood","provider":"Pépinière Casse-Noisette","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
