An amazing anchor for a wildlife garden, Roughleaf Dogwood provides nectar and berries to many species of birds and butterflies. It produces white flowers in the spring, berries in the summer, and the leaves turn reddish-bronze in the winter.
Good as a single specimen or planted in mass to make a dense foliage screen. It is happy in neutral to wet soils and would work in a rain garden.
