Add item to quote to see pricing

Cornus alba 'Argenteomarginata' is more than your average shrub. Commonly recognized as the Tatarian Dogwood, this lush, deciduous shrub boasts a kaleidoscope of colors throughout the year to captivate any passerby. The prime feature is its variegated leaves, presenting a harmonious blend of cool greens and creamy whites that intensify into striking hues of red-orange as autumn sets in. As if that isn't impressive enough, this captivating spectacle continues into the chillier months, as the bare stems sport a vivid red complexion. Come late spring, clusters of delicate white flowers grace the shrub, later yielding to blue-white berries that not only add to its visual appeal, but also serve as an enticing snack for local bird life. The Tatarian Dogwood is remarkably resilient, adapting comfortably to a versatile range of soils and varying degrees of sun exposure, from full sun to partial shade, becoming a brilliant addition to a wide range of landscapes. Standing at a moderate height of 6 to 8 feet, this vibrant centerpiece captures the perfect balance between beauty and practicality in any garden setting. Show off the Tatarian Dogwood's splendors throughout the year and turn your garden into a four-season masterpiece.
