Description
The Gray Dogwood is a native deciduous shrub or small tree that might be found in the wild growing in moist or rocky ground along streams, ponds, wet meadows, glade and prairie margins, thickets and rocky bluffs. In mid to late spring it features abundant clusters of pretty white flowers and grayish-green, elliptic to lance-shaped leaves that turn an interesting dusky purplish red in fall. The flowers are followed by abundant clusters of pearl-like white berries held on distinctively red stems that provide interesting contrast to berries. Birds enjoy the berries. Very adaptable and easy to grow, the Gray Dogwood will certainly be a conversation piece in the garden!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 10 to 15 feet tall and wide at maturity, the Gray Dogwood is ideal for use in grouping, and if left alone to will naturally spread to form a small colony in naturalized areas or native plant gardens. Also effective in shrub borders, along streams or ponds or near buildings or when planted as a natural hedge or screen. A fine addition to partially shaded woodland gardens, white theme gardens, and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 8 to 10 feet apart for hedge; 18 feet or more apart for space between
Growing Preferences
The Gray Dogwood is very easy to grow in most any most but well-drained to consistently moist soil of average to poor fertility and full sun to part shade. Tolerates wide range of soil conditions, including both moist and somewhat dry soils and is tolerant of city air pollution. We’ve seen no serious insect or disease problems.
Plant Long & Prosper!
