Silky Dogwood (Cornus amonum) is a  multi-stemmed tree with a rounded growth habit, growing to about 10 feet tall and wide. Umbels of creamy white flowers bloom in late spring, with deep blue clusters of fruits in the summer. It likes moist soils and is a good plant to use on wet sites for mass border plantings. The fruits attract  many birds, including Wood Duck, Wild Turkey, Northern Flicker, Downy Woodpecker, Gray Catbird, thrushes, Northern Mockingbird, and Northern Cardinal.
