plant sale text: Silky dogwood is a multi-stemmed shrub with a rounded to open habit found growing in low woods and along streams and swamp borders. Predominately in the mountains and piedmont, this species produces non-fragrant flowers borne in upright, flat-topped cymes. By August the flowers develop into attractive, blue drupes eaten by several bird species. In the landscape this species prefers moist, partially shaded situations, but also tolerates full sun on drier sites. It is best suited for massing, shrub borders and naturalizing in moist to wet soils.
