Sgt. Pepper™ Dogwood is a foliage-forward powerhouse that demands attention at the retail bench and in the landscape. This unique Cornus alba selection changes its look with the seasons—spring starts with bold pink-and-green variegation, summer cools to creamy white and green, and fall ignites with hot pink margins and burgundy centers. Think tri-color beech vibes in a shrub-sized, far more versatile package.

Growing 5–8 ft tall and wide with upright structure, Sgt. Pepper™ functions as a high-impact specimen, hedge, or mass planting. White flowers in spring offer a soft accent, while vivid red stems steal the show in winter. That’s four seasons of color interest—a rare value-add in deciduous shrubs.

This variety is highly adaptable and thrives in moist to even soggy soils, making it ideal for rain gardens and low spots where other ornamentals fail. Available as liners or finished containers, it offers growers fast finishing and high retail appeal. Retailers benefit from its eye-catching foliage and “what is that?” impulse-buy potential. Cut branches are also in demand for florists and designers seeking seasonal texture.

Durable, showy, and structurally sound, Sgt. Pepper™ adds proven performance and visual drama to any shrub program.
