Cayenne Silky Dogwood is a medium-sized native deciduous shrub with an open rounded habit and bright red stems. Its leaves are a mild green that turns orange-red in fall. Tiny white flowers grow in flat-topped clusters in spring to summer and give way to porcelain blue fruit that attracts birds. Prefers part sun and slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soil.
