Rough-Leaf Dogwood, or Drummond’s Dogwood, is a small, perennial tree or shrub that can grow to be 16 feet tall. Its branches can be reddish brown or gray, and the upper surfaces of its leaves are covered with the rough hairs for which it is named. The off-white flowers are replaced by white berries in the fall, during which its foliage turns shades of red. This plant is adaptable but grows best in moist soils and partial to full shade.
