Silky Dogwood is a versatile and attractive shrub that will transform your garden into a beautiful sanctuary for wildlife! Flat-topped clusters of slightly fragrant, creamy-white flowers appear in spring and will attract a variety of pollinators. The real show begins in late summer when clusters of white berries ripen to a deep, porcelain-blue which birds will greedily devour. A great choice for shrub borders, woodland edges and wet areas prone to erosion. Black Walnut, deer erosion, shade and wet soil tolerant.
