Stiff dogwood
Cornus foemina
Stiff dogwood is a hardy native shrub that thrives in part shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil. It requires minimal pruning and is well suited to rain gardens, woodland edges, and streamside plantings. Once established, it is largely self-sufficient and rewards you with clusters of white flowers and blue-white berries that attract birds.
