Starlight Dogwood - Cornus Starlight

The Starlight Dogwood is a striking ornamental shrub prized for its variegated foliage and year-round visual interest. This cultivar of Cornus alba features distinctive white-edged leaves that create a luminous effect in the landscape, particularly in shaded areas where it brightens dim corners. In spring, delicate white flowers emerge before the foliage, followed by pale blue berries that attract wildlife. The stems turn vibrant red during winter months, providing additional seasonal color when deciduous plants are bare. Hardy and adaptable, this dogwood thrives in moist, well-draining soil and tolerates partial shade to full sun. Ideal for borders, hedgerows, or specimen plantings, it reaches 6-8 feet at maturity and responds well to pruning for shape maintenance.
