Cornus alternifolia 'Argentea'

Keith Wiley's favourite tree . . . lovely :)

Is it Sheila. The leaves are slightly smaller and more delicate than our C controversa variegata. I had this after seeing Andrew R's.

KW featured this in his book, "Wildside", and calls his own nursery in Devon Wildside Plants which he started after being Head Gardener at The Garden House for many years. I attempt to follow his love of naturalistic planting!

Is his book a good one Sheila? I have thoroughly enjoyed Alan T's My Secret Garden. It's great when you aspire to these legends.

Yes Dawn - absolutely inspirational to read about people who are getting it right :)

I will have a look for it, thanks.

Beautiful !!
I bought a Cornus Controversa Variegata , my favourite thing at the moment lol .

I've got that too, love all Cornus, my C controversa variegata is a bit slow, think it's a bit squashed i must remedy that. ?

The C. controversa variegata is definitely one of my favourites too, and visitors often comment on it :)
