5 Bare Root Gray Dogwood Plants Cornus racemosa 12 Inch Live Plants
Gray Dogwood (Cornus racemosa) is a hardy native deciduous shrub prized for its gray-green foliage, reddish-brown stems, and clusters of small white flowers that give way to pale blue-white fruit. It works well in naturalized areas, hedgerows, rain gardens, and mixed borders, offering multi-season interest and a relaxed, informal texture.
This adaptable shrub is commonly used for mass plantings, wildlife-friendly landscapes, and erosion-conscious sites where a low-maintenance native is desired. It spreads gradually by suckers, forming thickets that suit informal hedges and meadow edges. Grow it in average to wet soil in full sun to part shade for best flowering and berry production.
