Cornus asperifolia

Cornus asperifolia, the roughleaf dogwood, is a native southeastern shrub that thrives in part shade and average moisture conditions, making it well suited for woodland garden edges and stream banks. Water regularly during establishment and reduce once the plant is settled, as it prefers consistently moist but well-drained soil. Its white spring flowers and small white fruit clusters attract pollinators and birds, adding year-round wildlife value.
