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

Gardening in Lower Normandy

Thank you for posting this. Saw honkongensis in a nursery yesterday and just trying to find out if it will be happy with us here in Vire, Lower Normandy. Google led me to you and by the sounds of it this Cornus is a winner. I wondered if you growing this in UK or Normandy, but in any case our weather here is similar to southern UK although we lack shelter and I think we are in a slight frost pocket.
