Variegated Dogwood
Tatarian dogwood is a large shrub grown for its white-edged leaves and red stems. The variegated leaves have white outside margins with greyish-green interiors. Creamy white flowers are borne on clusters in early summer. The bark on the new stems is red, then fades to grey as the branches age.
Tatarian dogwood, although winter hardy, requires regular moisture to grow well. It can be a good choice for its attractive bark and variegated leaves, but needs to be planted in area where it will be watered regularly or get extra water from a swale or downspout.
