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.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
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!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
