Buy Sgt. Pepper™ Dogwood online. Sgt. Pepper™ Dogwood features clean green and white variegated foliage emerges with vivid pink tones in fall. Those fade in the summer, leaving just the refreshing variegation, until the shorter nights of late summer usher in a return of pink, and all the formerly white leaf margins transform to a bright pink. The stems also begin to turn a lovely deep red during the fall season for unforgettable color. This is such an incredibly pretty and unique dogwood; it's almost like a tri-color beech in dogwood form!
