Cornus alba 'Elegantissima' -2L pot

Cornus alba 'Elegantissima', commonly known as variegated red-barked dogwood, is a hardy deciduous shrub prized for its striking year-round interest. It features soft green leaves edged in creamy white, creating a bright, elegant appearance throughout the growing season. In autumn, the foliage may take on hints of pink before dropping to reveal vivid red stems that provide dramatic winter colour, especially against snow. Small clusters of creamy-white flowers appear in late spring, followed by pale bluish-white berries that attract birds. Adaptable and low-maintenance, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil, making it a popular choice for borders, hedging, and winter garden displays.
