Description

Cornus amomum, commonly known as silky dogwood, is a deciduous shrub native to the eastern United States. It thrives in moist to wet soils, often found along streambanks, wetlands, and lowland forests. This multi-stemmed shrub typically grows 6 to 12 feet tall, with spreading branches that form a dense thicket. Its oval, dark green leaves turn a reddish-purple in the fall, adding seasonal interest. In late spring to early summer, Cornus amomum produces small clusters of creamy white flowers that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. These are followed by distinctive blue to bluish-white drupes in late summer, which are a valuable food source for birds and wildlife.

Silky dogwood is a popular choice for ecological restoration projects due to its ability to stabilize soil and its tolerance for a variety of conditions, including partial shade and periodic flooding. It is also widely used in natural landscaping and as a hedge or screen in gardens. In addition to its aesthetic and ecological benefits, Cornus amomum supports biodiversity, providing cover for small mammals and nesting sites for birds. Its hardiness and adaptability make it an excellent option for planting in riparian zones and other challenging environments.
