Read detailed description :

This dogwood has an original evergreen foliage, relatively resistant to the cold in winter and with orangey colours in autumn. It can even be planted in a sheltered northern exposure. The shoots are copper-red tinted. Rapid growth and flowering. Numerous four-bract flowers of creamy-yellow, turning white with pink tints. Can form a small tree when mature in a rich and cool soil and mild climate.
