Cornus hongkongensis
I just noticed that this evergreen Cornus is still blooming! It comes
out a bit after the other large-bract dogwoods (we seem to get florida
first, followed by kousa) but even still that's an outstandingly long
flowering period.
This is it's first flowers here, it was planted a few years ago as a 5l
and has been growing enthusiastically, very pretty waxy leaves all year.
Seems to be quite hardy.
I would definitely recommend this in a small garden looking for a
flowering evergreen.
