GOLDEN SHADOWS PAGODA DOGWOOD
Cornus alternifolia 'Golden Shadows' is more commonly called Golden Shadows Pagoda Dogwood. It is a graceful small tree with iridescent lime-green leaves broadly edged in gold with fragrant, white clusters of flower bracts. Dark blue fruit appear later in the season. Foliage turns a reddish purple in fall.
The Pagoda Dogwood is a native, deciduous, multi-stemmed shrub or small tree with textured, light green leaves and blue-black fruits. Fragrant creamy white flowers are borne in late May and early June. It thrives in open, dappled shade areas with organic, moist, well-drained, acidic soils. It will tolerate clay soils but will grow more slowly.
