Labrador Tea vs Gray Dogwood
Rhododendron groenlandicum (Ledum groenlandicum)
Cornus racemosa
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
Labrador Tea is slow-growing evergreen shrub native to the boreal forests of Canada.
It thrives in wet, swampy conditions.
Labrador Tea has narrow, leathery, dark green leaves, topped by a cluster of white flowers in the spring. It is a perfect ornamental shrub for boggy, wet areas of your property.
Gray dogwood is a thicket-forming, deciduous shrub with greenish-white blossoms in open, terminal clusters. Young twigs are red and the fruit pedicels remain conspicuously red into late fall and early winter.
Fruit itself is a white, 1/4 in. drupe that usually does not remain on the shrub for long.
Great for naturalizing wild areas, this shrub attracts birds and other wildlife.
Note: This species is currently unavailable. Grow your own using Gray Dogwood seeds at SeedTime.ca.
