North Florida Growing Note: Roughleaf Dogwood can grow in the Florida Panhandle in full sun or partial shade. It is more tolerant of heat, drought, and drier soil than Silky Dogwood, although it also grows well in moist soil. It is a good choice for naturalized areas where a durable native shrub is needed.

Roughleaf Dogwood spreads by underground suckers and may eventually form a dense colony. This characteristic makes it useful for wildlife cover, erosion control, windbreaks, and restoration projects. Give it room to spread or remove unwanted suckers when using it in a maintained landscape.
