Cornus 'A. Ivory Halo' is a deciduous shrub. A compact, well-behaved form with clean white-margined foliage that brightens the landscape from spring through fall, and vivid red stems that deliver striking winter color. Adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions including wet sites. Full sun to part shade. Prune older stems to the ground in late winter to maximize colorful stem production. Excellent for naturalistic plantings, rain gardens, and mixed borders where multi-season interest — spring flowers, fall color, and winter stems — is valued.
