Cornus alba 'Kesselringii' – ornamental shrub with deep purple branches
Appearance & Effect
The Cornus alba 'Kesselringii', also known as Purple dogwood, is a decorative ornamental shrub, which impresses all year round. In summer it displays lush green foliage, in autumn this glows in warm yellow to purple tones – and in winter its deep purple to almost black branches for a spectacular color contrast in the garden.
With its exceptional bark coloration, the Kesselringii is a real highlight in flower beds, front gardens, or as a structural privacy screen. It brings particularly vibrant color to outdoor spaces during the barren winter months.
