Passionate about plants and gardening
Dog friendly'Elegantissima' is widely considered one of the best variegated dogwoods for the garden. During the spring and summer, it forms a dense, leafy shrub with elegant grey-green leaves edged in crisp, creamy white. In late spring, it produces small clusters of creamy-white flowers, followed occasionally by white berries with a bluish tint.
The real drama begins in autumn when the leaves turn shades of orange and red before falling to reveal the plant's greatest asset: bright, crimson-red stems. When planted in groups, these stems create a stunning "burning bush" effect that is especially effective against a winter sky or evergreen backdrop. It is an elite choice for damp areas, woodland edges, or for creating a vibrant winter border. It is incredibly tough and easy to grow. To ensure it develops a strong root system to support its vigorous annual growth, we recommend using Rootgrow when planting.
