BUNCHBERRY Cornus Canadensis Hardy Woodland Native Perennial, 5 Rare Seeds

Description

Bunchberry
Cornus canadensis is a species of flowering plant in the dogwood family. Common names include Canadian dwarf cornel, and Canadian bunchberry. Unlike its relatives, which are for the most part substantial trees and shrubs, C. canadensis is a slow-growing herbaceous perennial growing 10–20 cm tall, generally forming a carpet-like mat. It is used as ornamental groundcover in gardens. It prefers moist acidic soil.
In late spring to midsummer, white flowers are produced. Its native distribution includes Japan, North Korea, northeastern China (Jilin Province), the Russian Far East, the northern United States, Colorado, New Mexico, Canada and Greenland. Cornus canadensis typically inhabits montane and boreal coniferous forests, where it is found growing along the margins of moist woods, on old tree stumps, in mossy areas, and among other open and moist habitats.
