Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A Dick Lighty selection of Yellow Twig Dogwood, its nicely variegated, and considered superior to argenteo-marginata; stolonifera is hardly my favorite dogwood but I'm quite taken by this.

By: Arrowhead Alpines

Leaves have a creamy irregular border around the margin and the variegation pattern is stable; the stem color is yellow.

Variegated Yellow Twig Dogwood. White edged green foliage makes this shrub a more interesting landscape subject during the growing season, but really grow this for the bright yellow stems in winter. Situate in front of dark leaved evergreens for a dramtic effect. Grows to 8-9'. 18-24" plants for spring shipping.
