Cornus drummondii
Roughleaf dogwood is a tough, adaptable native shrub or small tree valued for its clusters of white spring flowers and white berries that attract birds throughout summer and fall. It tolerates a range of conditions including partial shade, average moisture, and variable soil types, making it ideal for naturalized landscapes and wildlife gardens. Little maintenance is needed once established beyond occasional shaping to control its suckering growth habit.
