Cornus alba ‘Nightfall’ (PBR) is a distinctive deciduous dogwood chosen for its unusually dark summer foliage and strong winter presence. Through the growing season, the leaves develop from deep green into rich purple-black tones, creating striking contrast in borders and contemporary planting schemes. As autumn passes, the foliage drops to expose vivid red stems that deliver bold colour and structure through winter. Occasionally producing small creamy flowers in late spring, this variety is fully hardy in UK conditions, thriving in moisture-retentive, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. Its naturally upright habit and reliable performance make it an excellent choice for year-round interest with minimal maintenance.
