Hello everyone, this is my first thread here… I live in Germany and about 1 month ago I bought a Cornus „Satomi“. I already had one which is planted in pot on my balcony and it has these very beautiful color intensive bracts. But the new one is very pale, the bracts are all white with just pale pink edges. I‘m very disappointed about that and I don‘t understand why they are so different! I‘m wondering whether they will always have this color or if they color will get more intense. I‘ve been reading in this forum and I found a thread (started by „leafclimber“) on this theme but the answers were different: Some wrote that it depends on several conditions and can vary every year but there was also they answer that originally there were three different kinds of Satomi - Satomi red, Satomi pink and Satomi white. So if I received this „Satomi white“ version I will always be disappointed about the Color.. Especially that the plants are exposed to the same weather conditions and look that different really confuses me. So I would be very pleased to hear about your experiences! Does anyone have a similar initial specimen and has been able to observe the color development over a longer period of time? Unfortunately, I have not been able to find anything on this so far… I am attaching photos of the two plants, they were taken one right after the other.
