plant sale text:Gray dogwood, also known as northern swamp dogwood, has unusual and striking white berries on red stems! Its leaves turn a beautiful reddish-purple color in the fall. The clumps of creamy white flowers attract numerous pollinators, and the fruits are eaten by many species of birds and other wildlife. This shrub or small tree prefers moist soil, but it will withstand dry, average, or wet soils. It is rhizomatous and will spread by suckers to eventually form a dense thicket if not divided, making it a good choice for borders, screening, or soil stabilization.
