Description
Selected by Dr. Tom Ranney at NC State University, Cornus elliptica Lucky Leprechaun is an Evergreen Chinese Dogwood that wows with one of the heaviest bloom sets we’ve ever seen, nearly covering the foliage from late spring to early summer. The bracted flowers emerge a soft green color aging to near white and standing out marvelously against the backdrop of dark green leaves. Translucent, strawberry-like fruits follow and persist through winter to provide additional interest in the landscape and food for the birds. At 10 to 12 feet tall and only 4 feet wide in 10 years, Lucky Leprechaun is a great fit for smaller garden spaces where it is sure to be a conversation piece.
During mild winters here in USDA Zone 8a of Georgia, the leaves on our tree remain bright green all the way through November, then gradually turn reddish-purple until spring when new growth eventually pushes the old leaves off. North of Zone 8 this tree can be semi-evergreen to deciduous during colder winters.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in an upright narrow pyramid to 12 feet tall and only 4 feet wide in 10 years, the Lucky Leprechaun Dogwood is ideal for use as a specimen in smaller garden spaces or in groupings in larger borders. Also effective as a small accent tree in home foundation plantings and around patios, porches, decks and other outdoor living spaces. to frame the corners of homes and to provide beauty and some shade around patios, porches and other outdoor living spaces. Dogwoods always fit perfectly in the edges of woodland borders. A fine addition to white theme gardens, Azalea gardens, cottage and woodland gardens.
Growing Preferences
Dogwood trees are easy to grow when planted right and in the right spot. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. As with many other types of ornamental trees, constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. Though dogwoods will tolerate full sun, we think they look and perform their best with some shade or filtered sun during the hot afternoon hours.
