‘Kristin Lipka’s Variegated Weeper’ was found as a naturally occurring sport on an unnamed variety of Cornus kousa and was introduced in 2002 by Robert Lipka who named it for his daughter. This strongly weeping dogwood has variegated leaves with a green center and undulating creamy white margins. In autumn the green areas turn red and the cream colored areas turn pink. This shrub grows 7 to 9 ft. tall and 4 to 5 ft. wide. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Prefers moist, organically rich, acidic soils in part shade. Benefits from a 2-4″ mulch which will help keep roots cool and moist in summer. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
