Product Details

Create a lush and natural woodland aesthetic with Bunchberry (Cornus canadensis), a low-growing perennial ground cover native to North America. Known for its delicate white blooms, Bunchberry thrives in cool, shaded environments, making it an excellent choice for forest gardens, shaded borders, and naturalized landscapes.

Following its spring and early summer blossoms, Bunchberry produces bright red berries in late summer, adding seasonal interest and attracting birds and wildlife. With its lush green foliage, spreading habit, and easy care, Bunchberry is perfect for shaded gardens and moisture-rich areas.

Why Grow Bunchberry?

• Thrives in Shade: Ideal for woodland gardens, under trees, and shaded walkways.
• Beautiful Seasonal Interest: White flowers in spring, vibrant red berries in late summer.
• Wildlife-Friendly: Berries attract birds, butterflies, and pollinators.
• Low-Maintenance Ground Cover: Forms a lush, carpet-like spread over time.
• Cold-Hardy: Tolerates harsh winters and thrives in cool climates.

Planting Instructions

1. Seed Preparation:

   • Cold stratify seeds for 90-120 days by placing them in a damp paper towel inside a sealed bag in the refrigerator.
   • Soaking seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours before stratification can improve germination.

2. Sowing:

   • Direct sow in fall or early spring in rich, moist soil.
   • Alternatively, start indoors using well-draining seed-starting mix.
   • Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, covering lightly with soil.

3. Germination:

   • Requires patience; germination can take 6-12 months due to natural dormancy cycles.
   • Maintain consistent moisture and cool temperatures (50-65°F / 10-18°C).

4. Transplanting:

   • Once seedlings develop strong roots, transplant them into shaded garden beds or moist woodland areas, spacing them 12-18 inches apart.

Care and Maintenance

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Pruning: Minimal pruning needed; remove dead foliage in early spring.
• Fertilizing: Use a light layer of compost in early spring to support growth.
• Pest & Disease Resistance: Generally pest-free, though occasional fungal issues can occur in overly damp conditions.

Best Uses

• Shaded ground cover for forests, garden borders, and beneath trees
• Naturalized landscapes and woodland garden designs
• Wildlife-friendly gardening to attract birds and pollinators
• Erosion control on shaded slopes and moist areas
