Cornus Sibirica Variegata – Red Barked Dogwood

Description:

The 'Sibirica variegata' is the ultimate choice for outstanding winter colour. The luscious leaves are ovate in shape and dark green in colour with a lovely variegation, a slight twist on the very popular 'Cornus Sibirca' They turn to a rich burgundy red in autumn which provides a lovely display. After the leaves fall the 'Sibirica variegata' really comes into its own; its stems glow with a breathtaking coral colour that brings a burst of life to a stark winter garden. In spring, new foliage emerges and the fresh leaves are accompanied by cream flowers, which appear in corymbs. A great choice for adding year-round interest to your garden.
