Cornus canadensis - Bunchberry -- is a striking groundcover Dogwood with showy, white flowers arising above umbrella-shaped foliage! The whorled, dark green leaves spread over time into a large, glossy mat, forming the perfect carpet for the shade! Blooms arise in late spring and early summer, followed in late summer by bright scarlet berries; in fall the leaves blush crimson and deep red. So colorful over several seasons, yet so easy to grow! This is an ideal groundcover for cool climates, and is hardy all the way through zone 2 in the north!
Plant in shade and in well-drained, moist and acidic woodland soil high in humus. Zones 2-7.
