Cornus drummondii, commonly known as Rough-Leaved Dogwood, is a native, thicket-forming shrub valued for its adaptability and wildlife benefits. It produces clusters of small, creamy white flowers in late spring, followed by white berries in late summer that are highly attractive to birds. Its textured leaves are rough on top and soft underneath, and the plant develops reddish-brown twigs with occasional purple-red fall color. Rough-Leaved Dogwood spreads to form dense colonies, making it ideal for naturalized areas, hedgerows, and erosion control.
Rough-Leaved Dogwood thrives in a wide range of conditions, from moist to dry soils, and performs well in full sun to partial shade. It is low-maintenance, tolerant of tough sites, and well-suited for prairie edges, woodland margins, and restoration plantings.
