Cornus rugosa

Common Name: Round-leaved Dogwood

Round-leaved Dogwood is a 6 to 10 foot tall shrub found in upland forests and thickets. It is distinguished by its broad, rounded leaves and clusters of white flowers in summer. Fruits ripen from white to bluish and are an important food source for birds. Its broad foliage and wildlife value make it suitable for shaded native gardens and woodland understory plantings.

Planting Information

Dig a hole in your planting site slightly larger than the plant’s root system. When placing the plant into the hole, ensure that the soil line remains consistent with its original level in the pot. Fill in around the roots with the excavated soil, gently firming it to eliminate air pockets. Water the plant thoroughly the same day to promote successful establishment.
