Bunchberry (Cornus canadensis)

The bunchberry (Cornus canadensis) is a herbaceous perennial in the dogwood family, native to the cool forests of North America. This attractive ground cover reaches about 20 cm (8 inches) in height and produces delicate white flowers followed by bright red berries. Perfect for woodland gardens, it forms a lush green carpet that adds visual interest. While the berries are edible, they have a mild and bland taste.

Plant height: About 20 cm (8 inches)

Growing Tips:
Bunchberry thrives in shaded and moist areas, ideal for replicating a woodland environment. Sow seeds on the surface of cool, well-drained soil, without covering them. Keep the soil consistently moist. Its leaves, known for their antiseptic properties, have traditionally been used to soothe wounds and burns.
