Red Gnome Dogwood 1 Live Plant – Cornus alba ‘Red Gnome’ – 3 Gallon Pot

Red Gnome Dogwood (Cornus alba ‘Red Gnome’) is a compact deciduous ornamental shrub valued for its colorful stems, attractive foliage, and seasonal landscape interest. This tightly growing selection develops a dense, bushy form with green leaves and distinctive coral-red branches, making it a versatile choice for mixed shrub borders, foundation plantings, and ornamental garden beds.

One of the most appealing characteristics of Red Gnome Dogwood is its changing seasonal color. During the growing season, fresh green foliage provides a lush appearance against the coral-red stems. In autumn, the leaves develop striking crimson-red coloration before dropping, revealing the colorful branches that remain visible throughout winter.

This listing includes one live Red Gnome Dogwood in a 3 gallon nursery pot.

Approx. 15 inches tall at time of shipping.

Red Gnome Dogwood generally performs well in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Its compact growth habit makes it especially suitable for smaller landscape spaces and group plantings. Because it is deciduous, the plant may arrive dormant, leafless, or recently pruned depending on the season.
