Add four-season color with Cornus alba 'Ivory Halo'. You get red winter stems and medium green leaves edged in creamy white, plus spring flower clusters and pale fruit that can follow. This compact, multi-stem shrub typically matures around 48-72 inches tall with a similar spread, making it easy to place in foundations, mixed borders, and mass plantings.

Give it full sun for the strongest stem color, though part shade is welcome in hot climates. Plant in average to rich soil and keep moisture consistent, especially during the first growing season. It also adapts to heavier soils and is a smart choice where the ground stays more evenly moist, including low spots that are not bone-dry.

Pruning is simple and helps keep the brightest winter display. Each late winter or early spring, remove a portion of the oldest stems at the base to encourage fresh, colorful new canes. If you need a stronger reset, you can cut the plant back more hard to renew growth, then allow it to fill back in over the season.

Use 'Ivory Halo' where you want reliable structure and contrast: the white-edged foliage brightens summer plantings, and the red stems stand out against snow and evergreens. Space plants so air can move through the canopy and water at the base to help foliage stay clean.
