Our range of Pagoda Dogwoods. The Cornus controversa and Cornus alternifolia are elegant small trees with an architectural habit that stand out in the garden. The Cornus controversa, also known as the Giant Dogwood or Pagoda Dogwood, is recognizable by its horizontally layered branches, reminiscent of Asian pagodas. Its spring flowering, with small white flowers in umbels, is followed by black berries that attract birds. The Cornus alternifolia, more compact, offers a similar structure with white flowers in corymbs in spring and blue-black berries in summer.
The Cornus controversa 'Variegata' is particularly appreciated for its variegated cream-white foliage that brings light to shaded areas of the garden. 'Pagoda' has a more pronounced layered habit than the type and exceptional graphic qualities, even more so under its sumptuous autumn foliage.
The Cornus alternifolia 'Argentea' also has beautiful variegated foliage and a graceful form, ideal for small gardens.
These Pagoda Dogwoods prefer a fertile, humus-bearing, well-drained soil, as well as a partially shaded to sunny exposure. To maintain their beautiful structure, prune lightly after flowering and remove dead or diseased branches. Be cautious of excess moisture, especially in winter, which can hinder their development.
