I have a semi miniature "wolfeye" dogwood 23 years olde.
Its leaves are extremely unique for a dogwood. Outer edges are a creamy white..as your eye moves to the center of the leaf, it turns dark green..it as an abrupt to subtle green change...like a "wolf's eye"..

Most interesting, Dan'l, I've never heard of such a variety, did you share a color version perhaps? I have a Dogwood that "flowers both red and white - obviously grafted) The white portion has leaves darker in the middle and lighter on the fringes.

Douglas I have what I nicknamed a "Franken-wood" dogwood. (the Frankenstein monster..or "Franken-steen" monster as Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman called him)
It is a grafted American white dogwood and a Japanese Kusa dogwood that went bonkers!
The center is the American trunk and it blooms brilliant white..then weeks later the "lime green" flowers of the Kusa appear from all the outer trunk branches..
Let me get a photo and you can see!
I also have a "red" American dogwood.
Thanks Douglas!
