Cornaceae
Cornus alba 'Aurea' is a highly decorative ornamental shrub, prized for its bright yellow foliage and distinct seasonal interest. It forms a dense, rounded shrub, ideal for borders, informal hedges, and structured landscape designs. Its vibrant golden-yellow deciduous foliage brightens the garden from spring to summer, before taking on warmer hues in autumn. In winter, its bright red stems take over and offer a striking contrast with the snow, ensuring year-round decorative appeal. Very hardy and perfectly adapted to Quebec's conditions, Cornus alba 'Aurea' is easy to cultivate, tolerates a wide variety of soils, and is an excellent choice for bringing color, structure, and dynamism to the garden.
