GRAY DOGWOOD
The Cornus racemosa, also known as the Gray Dogwood, is a deciduous, native shrub that is very adaptable with small, creamy white flowers in spring. Its grayish-green, elliptical leaves turn a purplish red color in fall contrasting well with its clusters of small, white fruit that form after the flowers fade. Best planted in groups or in naturalized areas near ponds. It thrives in full or part sun in average, well-drained soils.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in full sun to partial shade; this species is incredibly adaptable to different light levels. It thrives in a wide range of soil conditions, from moist to dry. When planting, space accordingly to allow for its natural spreading habit. Pruning: This is a vigorous, colony-forming shrub. For general maintenance, remove dead or damaged wood in late winter. Because it tends to sucker and thicken, you can perform 'rejuvenation pruning' every few years, cutting the entire plant back to 6-12 inches from the ground in late winter to reset the structure and maintain density.
