Cornus canadensis 1G

(Bunchberry)

Bunchberry is a low, creeping dogwood groundcover for cool, acidic woodland soils, with whorled leaves, small white bracts in late spring, and bright red berries later in summer. Prefers part to full shade and consistently moist, humus-rich soil; excellent under shrubs and in naturalistic plantings.
