 Cornus alba Nightfall ('Verpaalen3'PBR) earned the A classification during the GreenGrandPrix of this edition of GrootGroenPlus. With striking dark leaves, Nightfall is a beautiful addition to the assortment. This shrub will undoubtedly attract attention with its elegant appearance and impressive qualities. Nightfall distinguishes itself with a dark purple leaf colour and an impressive display of colours in the autumn. This dark Cornus has dark green leaves in the spring, which become darker throughout the year. The leaves, especially on the underside, have a grey, velvety haze that contrasts beautifully with the dark plant.

No fewer than 28 plants were submitted for the GreenGrandPrix, with various aspects taken into account, including the assessment of the (cultivation) performance, the novelty value, the market potential and the added value to biodiversity. In addition to Cornus Nightfall, Hibiscus syriacus Flower Tower Ruby ('Gandini by Aart Ruby'PBR) and Lavandula intermedia Sensational! ('Tesseract'PBR) were awarded the B-classification, and Choisya Scented Gem ('Lissbrid'PBR) took home a C-classification.
