10 Seeds Viburnum dentatum Arrowwood Viburnum Native Shrub

Viburnum dentatum, commonly known as Arrowwood Viburnum, is a deciduous native shrub valued for its adaptability and multi-season interest. It typically grows 6 to 10 feet tall and wide, producing creamy white flat-topped flower clusters in late spring that give way to blue-black berry-like drupes in late summer, while the glossy green leaves turn shades of yellow, red, and burgundy in autumn.
This shrub works well in mixed borders, hedgerows, wildlife plantings, and naturalized areas where its dense branching provides cover and its fruit supports birds. It tolerates a range of conditions and can be used as a specimen, screen, or mass planting in residential and restoration landscapes.
