Description
A variegated form of the red-barked dogwood. This shrub has elegant leaves which are plump and with a long curvaceous tip; exuberant but classy. The leaf margins are irregularly edged with creamy white while the leaf centre is a fresh grey-green. This plant is highly valued for its foliage but also has dark wine red stems for winter interest. It can be hard pruned for winter colour, or can be left untouched where it will provide year round value with its luxuriant foliage and red stems.
