Abstract
A new and distinctive cultivar of shrub dogwood, botanically known as Cornus alba is provided. The new cultivar originated as a whole-plant mutation of unknown causation of the Argenteo-Marginata cultivar. A compact slower growing habit is exhibited in combination with the same attractive variegated green irregularly edged with white foliage of its parent which is well retained during the summer. Also, the branches of the new cultivar are finer textured, brighter, and darker in appearance than those of the parent. Other characteristics of the new cultivar are believed to be substantially identical to those of the parent cultivar. Plants of the new cultivar can be used to advantage as an attractive ornamental shrub for growing in smaller areas than its parent.
