Family Cornaceae

Cornus alba 'Bud's Yellow' is a highly ornamental shrub, valued for its bright yellow foliage and especially for its luminous yellow stems in winter, which bring a vibrant touch to the garden during the cold season. It develops a dense, rounded shrubby habit, ideal for beds, informal hedges, and landscape plantings with high visual impact. Its deciduous chartreuse-yellow foliage brightens arrangements from spring to summer, then gives way in winter to intense yellow stems, particularly spectacular against a snowy backdrop. Very hardy and perfectly adapted to Quebec conditions, Cornus alba 'Bud's Yellow' is easy to cultivate, tolerates fresh to moist soils, and is an excellent choice for creating four-season interest in the garden.
