Insights
As Dogwood is a native plant, the flowers - while not particularly startling - are highly attractive to native pollinators.
Details
Flowers: From March - April, insignificant white flowers appear, appreciated by native pollinators, once fertilised these will develop into black, inedible berries, sometimes called ‘dog berries’.
Planting
- Moist, well drained soil
- Full sun, partial shade
- All aspects
Care
Extremely vigorous, this dogwood will spread by suckering. To keep the shrub compact and to encourage colourful young shoots, prune hard in March every few years.
