Cornus Nightfall
If you're looking for a plant that brings year-round interest to your garden, Cornus 'Nightfall' is the answer. This hardy, deciduous shrub is what I call a garden chameleon, offering changing beauty through the seasons.In spring, its lush, dark green foliage creates an elegant backdrop for other plants, transforming across the seasons to reach a rich shade of purple by autumn, with velvety grey undersides. The show doesn't even stop when the leaves fall, as the striking red stems take centre stage, brightening up even the dullest winter day.Not just beautiful, this variety is also incredibly tough, versatile, hardy and resistant to most pests and diseases, making it an ideal choice for gardeners of all experience levels.Easy to grow and undemanding, this Cornus thrives in most soils, as long as they are well-drained, and prefers a sunny or partially shaded position. It's also a great choice for encouraging wildlife, with its dense branches offering shelter to birds and its seasonal features drawing interest to your garden throughout the year.Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant.
