Dogwood - Elegantissima, Cornus alba 'Elegantissima', displays small, fragrant, white flowers in May, which get lost in the leaves. The berries follow around June and July. The beautiful berries are white with tints of blue and green. The gray-green leaves are broadly margined with cream or white on burgundy red stems. This dogwood has a vigorous, upright growth habit. ‘Elegantissima’ brings year round interest to the landscape, but is especially handsome in winter when its stems turn bright red. Elegantissma adapts well to many different situations and soil types. However, for redder stems and good fall leaf color full sun is best. Fall leaf colors consist of apricot, gold and rosy-red. Pruned plants will stay around 6 feet tall and have an upright habit. Plants that are not pruned eventually reach ten feet tall by ten feet wide.
