A small tree with showy white bracts in May and brilliant
autumn colour. Bred by Canadian nurseryman Henry M Eddie, it
won Chelsea’s Award of Merit in 1972.
Plant Champion: Gareth Manning, 47 from Reading Gareth's lifelong passion for trees and shrubs started in the mid-80s when a nurseryman, (who was actually called Eddie) introduced him to ‘Eddie’s White Wonder’. It completely changed his mind about Cornus and he remembers it as the first plant he ever had that was truly out of the ordinary.
