Cornus alba 'Argenteomarginata' - Variegated Dogwood

A beautiful multi-season deciduous shrub offering elegant variegated foliage through summer and stunning red stems that bring brilliant colour to the winter garden.

Seasonal Highlights

Green leaves with creamy-white margins provide interest from spring through summer. Foliage develops warm autumn tints before falling to reveal bright red stems that glow throughout winter. Small white flowers appear in late spring.

Key Features

• Attractive variegated green and cream foliage
• Brilliant red winter stems
• Warm autumn colour
• Multi-season interest
• Fully hardy and reliable

Perfect For

Ideal for mixed borders where winter interest is needed. Excellent near water features or in damp areas of the garden. Perfect for winter stem displays, especially when planted in groups. Works well in wildlife gardens as it attracts pollinators.

Growing Tips

Plant in sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. Tolerates heavy clay and damp conditions. For the best winter stem colour, hard prune in early spring, cutting stems back to near ground level. This encourages vigorous new growth with the brightest red colouration. Mulch annually and water during dry periods.

Looks Great With

Combines beautifully with other coloured-stem dogwoods for winter displays. Pairs well with winter-flowering shrubs like hamamelis. Plant with evergreens to provide backdrop for winter stems. Underplant with spring bulbs for early season colour.

A versatile and valuable shrub that offers something special in every season, from attractive variegated foliage to brilliant winter stems.
