CORNUS CANADENSIS

Creeping dogwood is an especially elegant plant for a woodland border, with green leaves that surround white petal-like flower bracts like a collar (May–June). Tiny, peasized, glossy red berries appear in autumn. Creeping roots allow this plant to colonise areas of well-drained, neutral to acid soil. It benefits from the addition of leafmould when planting.
