| Hi, I was just noticing the stems on my Cornus 'Ivory Ha*lo' are just about green right now. I never noticed before that they were green in the spring. I'm sure they were red over the winter, is this what they usually do? |

| Twig dogwoods of all kinds often less colorful during the growing season than in winter. |

| The cultivar name is 'Bailhalo'. Ivory Halo is a registered trademark used to sell 'Bailhalo'. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cornus alba 'Bailhalo' (PP8,722)

| That too...the stems seem to be reddest late winter. |

| I looked at mine yesterday, they're leafing out. Yes, the stems are going over to green. |

| Hi - Is there a big difference between Ivory Halo (Bailhalo) & Elegantissima. I have a 3rd season Bailhalo ... love it so much I dug up 2 huge Hostas last Fall to be replaced with IH Cornus Alba. But all I found were Elegantissima & since the foliage looked quite identical & tag info as well, I got 2 ... planted them next to each other. Will the 3 of them eventually pass up as same shrubs? TIA for your input! €;) |

| Found growing among 'Argenteomarginata' ('Elegantissima'), is a more compact version with darker stems. |

| Thank you for the link bboy! The images didn't help much but it's OK ... I found more in my search. I think the 2 new Elegantissima will be fine where they are if I can shape them to similar heights as the young ones mature. I also found an old thread on Elegantissima here posted by chelone ... very helpful!!! Thanks again! €;) |
