Creeping Dogwood (Bunchberry) – Cornus canadensis Seeds | 120 Seeds | Hardy Native Shade Ground Cover | Woodland Bulk Pack

Establish a lush woodland carpet with Creeping Dogwood (Cornus canadensis), also known as Bunchberry. This charming native perennial spreads by underground rhizomes, forming a dense, low-growing ground cover ideal for shaded landscapes and forest-style gardens.

Reaching just 6–9 inches tall, each stem produces a whorl of mid-green leaves topped in late spring with four showy white bracts surrounding tiny green flowers. By late summer, clusters of vivid scarlet berries develop, creating striking contrast and attracting birds and wildlife.

Exceptionally cold hardy (Zones 2–6), Bunchberry thrives in cool climates and shaded environments. This 120-seed pack is perfect for larger woodland plantings, shaded borders, native landscaping projects, and under-canopy restoration areas.
