Hyperion is a hybrid white flowering dogwood developed at Rutgers University with two goals in mind: Hardiness and bloom quality. As a result it is better suited for difficult planting conditions than most dogwoods. If you struggle to grow dogwoods, or have a site that is non-ideal (full sun or compacted soil) we would recommend you give a hybrid like Hyperion a try. According to Rutgers, trees have increased tolerance of drought, have almost no problems with powdery mildew and other fungal diseases, and display extreme vigor and rapid growth. In addition, the blooms are larger than typical and cover nearly the entire tree once it becomes established.

When choosing a dogwood it is important to remember that dogwoods evolved as moderate growers that prefer the edges of forests. They are a species evolved to partial sunlight and rich humus soils. Hybrid dogwoods were developed in order to make the dogwood population more resistant to disease and able to grow in conditions like full sun. We still recommend that you actively work to improve poor soil, before planting any tree and that you assess the site quality. Even though these dogwoods are more hardy, poor conditions will stress any tree. Like all dogwoods, hybrids require supplemental watering and careful applications of mulch during the first few growing seasons and during hot/dry periods.

About 2 weeks after I planted my dogwood, I emailed Travis, anxious my tree wasn't breaking dormancy. He had me send a pic, then quickly reassured me that the buds looked healthy and almost ready to open. A month and a half later, my tree is leafed out and beautiful. I'm so grateful, both for my lovely new dogwood and for Travis's help and kindness. I'll definitely order from New Blooms again.

Scarlet fire kousa dogwood

I love this little tree. I ordered on April 26th or 27th and received and planted it on April 30th. It came bareroot and dormant with a very healthy root system. It's now May 23rd and it's got lots of leaf buds and is 4 feet from the ground. I love it and can't wait to see it flower.
