Cornus alba 'Nightfall' - Large circa 120-140cm tall

Add year-round intrigue to your garden with this striking deciduous shrub prized for its deep burgundy-black foliage and vibrant red winter stems. In summer, its dark leaves are beautifully offset by clusters of creamy-white flowers, followed by ornamental white berries that birds adore. Come winter, when the leaves fall, its glowing scarlet stems steal the spotlight.

‘Nightfall’ is perfect for modern borders, wildlife gardens, and mixed hedging schemes. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and isn’t fussy about soil—just ensure it’s moist and well-drained. Low-maintenance and reliable, it benefits from hard pruning in late winter or early spring to encourage the brightest stem colour. For a bold planting scheme, pair with golden-leaved Spiraea, or ornamental grasses like Miscanthus.

Supplied in approx. 7.5 litre containers.
