Cornus alba - Cornouiller blanc

Our range of Cornus alba, or white dogwood. It is a vigorous deciduous bush that brightens up the garden, especially in winter, with its bright red or yellow branches. Native to Siberia, China, and Korea, it is appreciated for its ease of cultivation and ability to thrive in various conditions. This species has given rise to many varieties such as the Cornus alba 'Sibirica', famous for its bright red branches that are highly visible in winter. The Cornus alba 'Elegantissima' has variegated leaves of white and green, adding a touch of light to shady corners of the garden. The Cornus alba 'Aurea' brightens up the garden in spring with its golden leaves carried by reddish stems. This white dogwood is a beautiful suckering bush, remarkable in winter with its naked and colorful wood, charming in May with its white flowers that will give white fruits (which also give it its name). It prefers a moist, well-drained soil and can be planted in full sun or partial shade.
