Description

Bunchberry makes an excellent ground cover in the moist woodland garden and is equally attractive in flower or fruit. Bunchberry is the smallest member of the dogwood family. The “flowers” of dwarf dogwood aren’t what they appear to be. The four white “petals” are bracts that look like petals. Clustered in the center, like the berries will later be, are many tiny white to purplish flowers. They are pollinated by flies and bees attracted by the bright bracts. In late summer a bunch of round red berries appear giving the plant its name. The berries are edible.
