Cornus alba 'Bailhalo'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Shrub
Plant Family: Cornaceae
Plant Description: Ivory Halo Dogwood is a fast growing, multi-stemmed, compact, deciduous shrub. The ovate leaves are variegated with green centers and creamy white edges. Small, yellowish-white blossoms emerge in flat clusters in late spring. The flowers make way for blue-white fruits that hang in clusters during the summer. The fall may turn the foliage showy shades of purple red, but it’s really the vivid red twigs that bring interest in the cooler seasons. The species is widespread and native to Utah.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Shrub - Renewal
Plant Care: Shrub - Renewal (woody multi-stemmed plants that lose their leaves every winter and look best on younger stems, which emerge from the base of the plant): Prune regularly to promote health, provide air circulation, maintain a desirable shape, and to remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring for most shrubs. With spring blooming shrubs, prune after the blooms are spent. When pruning, remove 1/3rd of the oldest branches by cutting at the base of the shrub. Monitor for pests, diseases or other ailments on a regular basis.
