Description
Gray Dogwood is a showy yet underutilized shrub, perfect for Massachusetts gardens and mass plantings. In late spring, clusters of creamy white flowers bloom at the tips of its branches, creating a soft, elegant display. The gray-green foliage provides a lush backdrop, turning a rich purple in the fall for added seasonal appeal.
This deciduous shrub produces striking white berries on pink stems in late summer, making it a favorite for wildlife. With its ability to adapt to various conditions, Gray Dogwood thrives in different soil types and moisture levels. Its multi-stemmed, ground-hugging growth habit makes it a great choice for erosion control or naturalizing landscapes.
