Found growing wild in northern Asia and from the USA to Greenland, Cornus canadensis produces beautiful white bracts from late spring to early summer, followed by bright red fruit. It's perfect for using as groundcover or to fill gaps at the front of a border.

For best results grow Cornus canadensis in a sunny or partially shaded spot in moist, acidic soil. Propagate by dividion in spring.
