Family Cornaceae

Cornus alba ‘Sibirica’ is a classic ornamental shrub, highly prized for its spectacular bright red stems in winter, offering a remarkable visual impact in northern landscapes. It forms a dense, spreading, and vigorous shrub, ideal for informal hedges, naturalistic beds, and four-season landscaping. Its deciduous medium-green foliage adds a fresh texture to the garden during the growing season, before turning slightly yellow in autumn. Once the leaves fall, its scarlet red young stems take center stage and contrast beautifully with the snow. Very hardy and perfectly adapted to Quebec conditions, Cornus alba ‘Sibirica’ is easy to grow, tolerates fresh to moist soils, and is a safe choice to structure the garden while providing color and dynamism throughout the year.
