Cornus alternifolia is an ornamental specimen plant. Like Cornus controversa, the shrub grows in a tiered pattern, with strikingly horizontal branches. A striking difference from Cornus controversa is the red color of the branches. Otherwise, these cultivars are remarkably similar.
The shrub blooms with small, creamy-white flowers that give it a slight white glow. After the blooming period, black-blue berries appear. The shrub will eventually need space because it can grow quite wide.
