Cornus alba (Dogwood)
Color Name: Ivory Halo®
Prized for its colorful stems, variegated foliage, and compact size, this dwarf dogwood has brilliant red winter stems and showy, light green leaves with creamy white margins, but at only two-thirds the size of many of its species. Ivory Halo provides multi-season interest in shrub borders, mass plantings, or as a low hedge.
* Bright red stems fall and winter
* Compact form
* Foliage is variegated and edged in cream
* Winter interest
* Great for mass planting
Growing Tips: Excellent as a cut stem for foliage filler.
Soil: Highly adaptable, but does best in moist, even wet soils. Tolerates dry conditions once established.
Pruning: Not strictly required. However, for best red stem coloration, prune about a third of the branches to the ground in late winter/early spring.
Uses: Mass plantings; cutting gardens; naturalizing; hedges; rain gardens; cutting gardens; foundation plantings.
