Characteristics:  This cold-hardy deciduous, flowering tree features a unique, horizontal branching pattern that provides the landscape with year round interest. 'Heart Throb' is a low maintenance variety that should only be pruned after flowering, to avoid removing the current season's blooms. This cultivar features a much longer bloom period than other dogwoods, making it an excellent choice for a landscape specimen or focal point.
