Hayloft Cornus Canadensis – Creeping Dogwood – 9cm Pot

Cornus canadensis, commonly known as creeping or dwarf dogwood, is a low-growing, ground-hugging perennial that thrives in shaded woodland gardens or under the canopy of trees. This species is known for its striking white or cream-colored bracts, which surround tiny yellow flowers in late spring to early summer, creating a delicate, star-like effect. The plant typically reaches 6 to 12 inches in height, spreading slowly to form dense, mat-like groundcovers. Cornus canadensis features glossy, dark green leaves that turn reddish-purple in the fall, adding seasonal interest. It prefers moist, well-drained, acidic soils and thrives in partial to full shade, making it ideal for shaded woodland gardens, rock gardens, or as a companion plant beneath larger shrubs and trees. Easy to care for and relatively low-maintenance, this hardy species offers year-round beauty and works well in naturalized or forest-like landscapes. Supplied in 9cm pots.
