- Appearance: Gray dogwood is a medium-sized shrub that typically reaches heights of 6 to 12 feet (1.8 to 3.7 meters). It has opposite leaves with a grayish-green color, which gives the plant its common name. In late spring and early summer, it produces clusters of small, creamy-white flowers.
- Fruit for Wildlife: One of the most valuable features of Cornus racemosa is its white, berry-like fruit. These fruit clusters provide an essential food source for a wide range of wildlife, including birds (such as songbirds and gamebirds), small mammals, and insects. The shrub's dense growth also offers shelter and nesting sites for birds.
- Adaptability: Gray dogwood is highly adaptable to various soil types and moisture levels. It can thrive in both wet and dry conditions, making it suitable for a wide range of landscapes, including rain gardens, riparian areas, and upland sites.
- Erosion Control: Due to its extensive root system and tolerance for wet conditions, Cornus racemosa is an effective plant for erosion control along stream banks and in other areas prone to soil erosion.
- Wildlife Habitat: Beyond its role as a food source, gray dogwood provides valuable habitat for pollinators like bees and butterflies. It also contributes to the overall ecological diversity of natural areas and can be a key component of wildlife-friendly landscaping.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
