Cornus alba ‘Ivory Halo’
Cornus alba ‘Bailhalo’ Siberian dogwood, Tatarian dogwood, Siber
Siberian dogwood is native to eastern Russia, northeastern China, and North Korea. It is not found in the wild in North America. Identification: Wild Siberian dogwood is about 8' (2.4 m) around, but cultivated varieties are both larger and smaller. This variety is smaller—4-6' (1.2-1.8 m) around. Deep red stems with small sparsely placed lenticels look very attractive in the winter. This variety, called both ‘Bailhalo’ and ‘Ivory Halo,’ is variegated: leaves have uneven patches of white around their edges. Leaves are 2-4½" (5-11 cm) long, and turn purple-brown in the fall. White (or yellow-white) blooms appear on growth that is at least 2-3 years old between May and June. Online References:
