The Watermelon Sugar Dogwood is a true showpiece, celebrated for its ever-changing color and exceptional garden performance. Bred in The Netherlands, this unique variety begins the season with fresh green foliage that gradually develops creamy-white streaks and soft pink blushes; the result is a captivating tricolor effect reminiscent of the beloved dappled willow. As spring progresses, large star-shaped white flowers blanket the branches, followed by clusters of strawberry-red fruits that attract songbirds. In fall, the foliage deepens into rich red-purple tones, ensuring year-round interest and vibrant color at every stage.
A Living Work of Art in Color and Texture: Watermelon Sugar’s shifting foliage ensures there’s always something new to admire. Its blush pink leaves shimmer in sunlight, making it a dynamic accent for borders, foundation plantings, or mixed shrub beds. The variegation adds dimension and brightness, bringing life even to partially shaded corners.
Blooming Beauty Draws Eyes and Wildlife: In late spring, large, pure white star-shaped blooms cover Watermelon Sugar’s branches in a spectacular display. These flowers mature into small, strawberry-red fruits beloved by birds for an added pop of color as summer fades. The effect is both elegant and natural, blending ornamental appeal with ecological value.
Season-Long Color, Minimal Effort: Hardy and easy to maintain, Watermelon Sugar thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts well to various soil types. Its compact size and strong branching habit make it perfect for smaller landscapes, while its changing foliage ensures visual interest from early spring through the final days of fall.
