Cornus amomum - Dogwood

Silky dogwood is great for attracting all kinds of birds late summer and would work well in damp yards/locations where its hard to find plants that do well.

Medium-sized deciduous shrub most common in moist lowland areas. Sometimes referred to as "silky dogwood" because the underside of the leaves has silky hairs.  Blooming in late spring-early summer it has very small yellow/white flowers which are followed by berry-like blue/purple fruits that ripen in late summer.
