Cornus amomum / SILKY DOGWOOD

Cornus amomum, commonly known as Silky Dogwood, is a deciduous shrub native to North America, known for its graceful, arching branches and vibrant seasonal interest. In late spring to early summer, it produces small clusters of white flowers, which are followed by blue, berry-like drupes that attract birds and wildlife. The plant features dark green, lance-shaped leaves that turn a rich red to purple in the fall, adding color to the landscape. Silky Dogwood thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade, making it ideal for wetland areas or along water features. With its attractive flowers, colorful berries, and beautiful fall foliage, Cornus amomum is a versatile and valuable shrub for adding structure and wildlife support to gardens and naturalized spaces.
