Imagine that, yet another wonderful, underutilized native shrub. Gray dogwood is a tough as nails plant commonly found in edge communities throughout our region. Plants assume a strong, multistemmed, suckering habit of upright, distinctly gray stems reaching 8-12' tall when mature. Deep green foliage cloaks the branches and transitions to purple and burgundy tones in autumn. Creamy-white flower clusters are born in early June literally engulfing the plants, lending a cloud-like appearance from a distance. Flowers transition to handsome, white, single seeded fruits which are quickly stripped by numerous bird species. After the fruits disappear, bright, reddish-pink fruit stalks persist, leaving the plants in a magical haze deep into autumn. An excellent plant for naturalizing, borders, massing and attracting wildlife.
