.Silky Dogwood is a captivating deciduous shrub, native to eastern North America, from Ontario and Quebec to Arkansas and Georgia. The plant is characterized by its looser habit and can grow up to 10 feet tall. Its oval-shaped leaves, measuring up to 10 cm long and 7 cm broad, and its small blue drupe fruits make this shrub a beauty to behold. This plant grows in wet soil like moist lowland areas, swamp borders, floodplains, and streamsides.

The bark has astringent and antiperiodic properties, while the fruits serve as a bitter digestive tonic.
