Description

Dogwood Silky is a hardy native shrub that offers multi-season beauty and strong ecological value. In spring, it produces clusters of creamy white flowers that brighten the landscape, followed by lush green foliage. As fall arrives, the leaves turn a rich burgundy, adding warm color and seasonal interest to garden spaces.

This adaptable shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Its vase-shaped habit makes it ideal for naturalized plantings, borders, and wetter areas such as rain gardens or near water features. Silky Dogwood also supports wildlife, providing berries that attract birds and pollinators, making it a great choice for eco-friendly landscapes.
