Panicled dogwood is a tough, adaptable native shrub well-suited to rain gardens, woodland edges, and stream banks where average to moist soil conditions prevail. It produces clusters of white flowers in spring and white berries that attract birds in late summer and fall, offering four-season interest. Once established, it requires little maintenance and tolerates a range of light conditions from full sun to part shade.
