Cornus Alba 'Nightfall' is an eye-catching shrub that provides all-year-round interest with its stunning foliage and striking winter stems. In spring, its dark green leaves gradually deepen to a rich purple hue, almost black by autumn. The silvery-grey undersides of the leaves create a striking contrast to the dark foliage, enhancing its dramatic appearance. Come autumn, the shrub offers a vibrant display of rich autumn colours, and once the leaves fall, the deep red stems take centre stage, providing winter interest.
