A variegated form of the red-barked dogwood. This has elegant leaves, 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 superb 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 to do its own thing where it will provide year round value with its luxuriant foliage and red stems.
This shrub is supplied in a 3 litre container for year round planting.
