Cornus eddies 'White Wonder'

Common Name:
Dogwood – Cornus 'Eddie's White Wonder'

Description:
Cornus 'Eddie's White Wonder' is a spectacular hybrid dogwood known for its exceptionally large white flowers, lush foliage, and graceful form. A cross between Cornus florida and Cornus nuttallii, this deciduous tree blends the best of both parents—offering improved vigour, disease resistance, and a prolonged flowering period. In mid to late spring, it produces overlapping, creamy-white floral bracts that can span up to 10 cm across, creating a breathtaking display. Its foliage emerges rich green and develops glowing red to orange tones in autumn. 'Eddie's White Wonder' thrives in Melbourne’s conditions, especially when planted in full sun to part shade in moist, well-drained soil. It is well-suited for use as a feature tree in garden beds, lawns, or mixed borders where its multi-seasonal beauty can be fully appreciated.
