Cornus amomum
Choose Silky Dogwood if you have a damp edge, rain garden, or native wildlife planting and want a shrub that works hard for birds. The tradeoff: it suckers and gets broad, so it is not for tight foundation beds.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | The flowers, berries, and reddish stems give it useful seasonal value, but the look is natural rather than formal. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It fills in quickly when moisture is steady, which helps naturalized areas establish. |
| Maintenance | B- | Plan on occasional thinning or sucker control if you want it kept within bounds. |
| Deer Resistance | C | This isn't deer-resistant; deer may browse it, especially tender new growth, so protect it where deer pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | D | Its suckering, multi-stem habit makes it a poor fit for narrow beds or small entries. |
| Screening Value | B+ | It can build a useful loose screen where a natural border is acceptable. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Silky Dogwood away from the front entry, in a moist back border, rain garden, or native buffer where its suckering habit can fill space instead of becoming a pruning project.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
