I would definitely recommend this in a small garden looking for a

Any idea how it compares with Cornus capitata for hardiness?

Maybe a little hardier, but I'm not sure. Said to be good well below
-12C but I think experience in the west is probably limited. Mine has
probably not dealt with anything colder that -6 or so, but I've only had
it a couple of years.

They seem to be a related anyway, Flora of China refs:

No idea which subspecies I've got, though I doubt it will get much more,
if even, 3m tall.
