Bunchberry dogwood otherwise known as the creeping dogwood, Cornus canadensis, is a small but resilient ground cover often considered one of the best shade plants. This native dogwood is found growing in the cool temperate regions of North America, where it thrives in damp and shady forest areas and woodlands, thriving under large trees and shrubs.
This creeping perennial is one of the best ground cover plants and is a useful option for those looking to add greenery to dappled and shaded situations. Deciduous leaves unfurl in spring, appearing bright green before producing attractive white flowers in spring and summer. Come fall, the bunchberry plant produces vibrant red berries, popular with wildlife. Truly, this plant provides interest across the seasons.
