Cornus suecica (Dwarf Cornel)

This dwarf cornus has a long season of interest, from spring through to autumn. It spreads through its root stock in a dense covering which comes into flower in June -July. The white petals are actually the upper leaves of the stem and its tiny bluish black flowers are crammed in between them in a dense group.Pollinators are attracted by the showy upper leaves rather than the black flowers. After flowering beautifull red berries develop. Grow on a river edge or in peaty conditions. Height 10cm
