Description:
Tiny yellowish-white fragrant flowers, in flat-topped clusters, form late spring and are followed by clusters of bluish-black berries in the summer. An upright, rounded clump of tiered, horizontal branches gives Pagoda a nice structure. The leaves turn a soft maroon colour in Fall. Pagoda Dogwood is a wildlife favourite that attracts pollinators, moths and other insects, while the berries are very popular with birds.
Pagoda dogwood prefers moist, acidic, well-drained soil and partial shade, but can grow well in full sun.
