Proven Winners® SGT. PEPPER™  Tatarian dogwood,
white dogwood 
Cornus alba 'Verpaalen 2' PP#34,377; CBRAF
 
Sgt. Pepper dogwood (Cornus alba) is the cure for the dogwood doldrums! The clean green and white variegated foliage emerges with vivid pink tones in fall. Those fade in the summer, leaving just the refreshing variegation, until the shorter nights of late summer usher in a return of pink, and all the formerly white leaf margins transform to a bright pink. The stems also begin to turn a lovely deep red then for unforgettable color. This is such an incredibly pretty and unique dogwood that is sure to have major impulse appeal at the garden center. It's almost like a tri-color beech in dogwood form! We are delighted to make this unique European variety available in North America.
