Dogwood Sargent Pepper

SGT. PEPPER® Tatarian dogwood, white dogwood………Cornus alba 'Verpaalen2' PP#34,377; CBRAF

Common Name: White Dogwood, Tatarian Dogwood

Sgt. Pepper dogwood (Cornus alba) is the cure for the dogwood doldrums! The clean green and white variegated foliage emerges in spring with vivid pink tones. In summer, those give way to white and green, until the shorter nights of late summer usher in a return of pink, and all the formerly white leaf margins transform to a bright pink. The stems also begin to turn a lovely deep red then for unforgettable color. This is such an incredibly pretty and unique dogwood that is sure to have major impulse appeal at the garden center. It's almost like a tri-color beech in dogwood form! We are delighted to make this unique European variety available in North America.
