Arrowwood Viburnum

Arrowwood Viburnum, scientifically named Viburnum dentatum, is a versatile deciduous shrub native to North America, prized for its numerous attributes and adaptability. It typically displays a rounded, multi-stemmed form with dark green, serrated leaves that turn attractive shades of red and purple in the fall, offering a stunning seasonal display. In late spring to early summer, it showcases clusters of creamy white flowers, which give way to blue-black berries in late summer or early fall. These berries are not only ornamental but also provide a food source for various birds. The Arrowwood Viburnum is known for its tolerance to a range of soil types and environmental conditions. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, making it a versatile choice for landscapes, hedges, naturalizing, or attracting wildlife. Its ability to endure wetter soils adds to its adaptability, and it's often found near wetlands or in rain gardens. This plant is a favorite among gardeners for its beauty, ease of care, and its beneficial role in supporting local wildlife.
