Dogwood - Grey Twig
Dogwood - Grey Twig The Gray Dogwood, 'Cornus racemosa', is a deciduous shrub which typically occurs in moist or rocky ground along streams, ponds, wet meadows, glade and prairie margins, thickets and rocky bluffs. It grows 10-15' tall and features white flowers borne in terminal racemes (hence the species name of racemosa) in late spring and grayish-green, elliptic to lance-shaped leaves (2-4 long). The foliage turns an interesting dusky purplish red in fall. Terminal stems holding the flowers are distinctively red and provide interesting contrast to the clusters of small white berries which form after the flowers have dropped. The red stem color is more easily seen after the fruits are gone, and red color often persists into early winter. Excellent when planted in groups and left alone to spread in naturalized areas or native plant gardens. Use this plant in shrub borders, along streams or ponds or near buildings or when planted as a screen. The Gray Dogwood can be particularly useful because of its ability to grow in poor soils. It is easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Tolerant of city air pollution. Zones 2-8. * Fall Color * Wildlife Plant
