Shrubs - Silverleaf Dogwood (Cornus alba)

The Silverleaf Dogwood is a pretty shrub which has silver variegated foliage and gives color throughout the entire season. It attains a height of approximately seven feet and can be clipped to any shape. This is an extremely hardy shrub and withstands cold winters.
