Cornus alba 'Nightfall'
Cornus 'Nightfall' - with its striking dark leaves, Nightfall is a stunning addition to the Cornus collection. Its elegant appearance and impressive qualities will undoubtedly draw attention. Nightfall stands out with its dark purple foliage and a remarkable display of autumn colours. In spring, this dark Cornus features dark green leaves that deepen in colour as the year progresses. The leaves, particularly on the underside, have a grey, velvety texture, which contrasts beautifully with the plants dark tones.
The red stems in winter make Cornus 'Nightfall' attractive not only during the growing season but also in the colder months. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this shrub offers practical benefits as well. Nightfall is a hardy plant with a more upright growth habit compared to others in the collection. It can be used as a hedge or screen, providing privacy and blocking unwanted views. Additionally, it serves well as a background planting for other flowering plants in the garden, helping them stand out even more.
