Dwarf cornel
Cornus suecica
Dwarf cornel is a low-growing boreal groundcover that thrives in cool, moist, acidic soils with partial shade, mimicking its native subarctic habitat. It requires consistently damp conditions and does not tolerate drought, heat, or alkaline soils. Best suited to rock gardens or woodland settings in cooler northern climates rather than indoor or tropical environments.
