Cornus Alba Variegata
Cornus alba Sibirica (Cornus alba Sibirica Dogwood)
Cornus alba Sibirica, commonly known as The Siberian Dogwood, is a deciduous shrub renowned for its red stems which are most prominent during winter. It forms a thicket of the slender, brightly coloured stems. The foliage emerges lime green in spring, ages to dark green, then develops red tones in autumn before falling and revealing the colourful stems. It typically grows to 2.5 m tall and 1 m wide and should be trimmed each year. Cornus Sibirica is a great plant for mixed plantings as well as cluster planting to provide a dramatic winter display.
Cornus controversa variegata (Wedding Cake Tree)
Cornus controversa variegata, commonly referred to as the Wedding Cake Tree, features tiered branches that bear leaves that are variegated cream and green. The foliage retains this colouring until autumn when yellow tones develop before the leaves fall. It typically grows to 6 m tall and 4 m wide and is usually trimmed to enhance the shape. Cornus controversa variegata makes an excellent specimen tree and is ideal for including in a mixed planting, using in avenue plantings, or planting to border an entranceway.
