Dogwood - Greytwig Red stem color is more easily seen after the fruits are gone, and red color often persists into early winter. Tolerant of city air pollution. Foliage turns an interesting dusky purplish red in fall. Easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. The Gray Dogwood is a deciduous shrub which typically occurs in moist or rocky ground along streams, ponds, wet meadows, glade and prairie margins, thickets and rocky bluffs. Excellent when planted in groups and left alone to spread in naturalized areas or native plant gardens. Also effective in shrub borders, along streams or ponds or near buildings or when planted as a screen. Terminal stems holding the flowers are distinctively red and provide interesting contrast to the clusters of small white berries which form after the flowers have dropped. |
