QuestionsHow to growTrees and ShrubsChoosing trees and shrubsC. alternifolia ‘Argentea’ or Vib.plic. ‘Marseii’?
Gohery asked 16 years ago
I’m putting in new beds at the moment. Our site is very windy, even on a summer’s day. I am looking for a small feature shrub/tree (with as much year-long interest as possible) for the edge of a bed close to the patio and house. I’m debating between Cornus alternifolia ‘Argentea’ and Viburnum plicatum ‘Mariesii’. Which has more to offer?

They are both reasonably wind-resistant and the viburnum is more showy during its flowering period but the cornus is the more elegant all year round.
