A Bit More

Cornus alba ‘White Angel’ is a cold-hardy, deciduous shrub featuring green-and-white variegated leaves, creamy-white flowers in late spring, red, plum, and pinkish-purple leaves in autumn, and brilliant bright red stems in winter. Excellent for use as a low hedge, privacy screen, mass plantings, shrub border. Because it is a dwarf cultivar, it suckers and spreads less than Cornus alba or Cornus sericea. Thrives in full sun to partial shade. Low to moderate water use; prefers consistent moisture but can tolerate brief dry spells once established. Best in moist, rich, and even poorly drained wet soils. It is highly adaptable to various soil types (clay, loam, sand) as long as moisture is present. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Cold hardy -40°F.
