Cornus drummondii (Roughleaf dogwood) is a versatile, deciduous small tree or shrub that thrives in dry to moist, alkaline soils, and adapts well to various environments. Preferrin g part shade to full shade, it can be found naturally along lake banks, marshes, and dry limestone hills. In spring, clusters of creamy-yellow flowers bloom, giving way to white fruits that attract birds. The rough, dark green leaves turn a purplish-red in fall, adding seasonal color. Roughleaf Dogwood is a great choice for erosion control, wildlife cover, and butterfly attraction in both ornamental and naturalistic settings.
