Description
Cornus alba Gouchaultii carries green leaves with yellow edges and a pink spring flush, then reveals bright red stems after leaf fall. Its suckering growth forms hedges, screens, and mass plantings.
Grow it in full sun or partial shade in fertile, moist, well-drained soil. Remove 20% to 25% of the oldest stems in early spring to stimulate colorful new stems. Small yellowish-white flower clusters in late spring are followed by blue-white summer drupes that attract birds.
