3ft Silver Pagoda Dogwood | Cornus alternifolia 'Argentea' | 7L Pot | By Frank P Matthews
Cornus 'Argentea', also known as Silver Pagoda Dogwood has stunning, variegated foliage and a striking tiered habit after several years of growth. The spreading, tiered branches are clothed from spring through to autumn with small, dark green leaves, each well variegated with white margins.
Attractive clusters of white flowers appear in summer, sitting on the surface of the tiered branches, contrasting beautifully with the variegated leaves. In autumn, they turn reddish-purple before dropping.
Packaging
We have developed an eco friendly polypot that is currently in use across our 9 litre range. This polypot has less than 20% of the plastic used by a regular pot, and is importantly recyclable. Polypots also prevent root spiraling, encouraging a healthier root system.
All trees arrive in an extra thick cardboard box with a clamp to hold their pot in place. This prevents them from moving around on their journey.
Nursery staff will wrap the roots of our bare root trees and use compost to keep them moist during transportation. This extra protection prevents them from drying out, allowing for a flying start. We also use the same specialised box that our potted trees have to keep them nice and secure as they make their way to your home.
