Family Dogwood family

Cornus alba 'Ivory Halo' is a compact and highly ornamental shrub, prized for its elegant variegated foliage and excellent four-season interest. It develops a dense, rounded, and well-branched habit, ideal for small gardens, mass plantings, borders, and low hedges. Its dark green deciduous foliage is finely edged with ivory white, bringing a refined brightness from spring to autumn. In winter, its bright red young stems take over and create a spectacular contrast with the snow, extending the visual interest off-season. Very hardy and perfectly adapted to Quebec conditions, Cornus alba 'Ivory Halo' is easy to grow, tolerates fresh to moist soils well, and is an excellent choice for structuring the garden with elegance and color.
