About this plant
The Arrowwood Viburnum (Viburnum dentatum) is a landscape workhorse, cherished for its dense, rounded habit and exceptional resilience. In late spring to early summer, it bursts forth with flat-topped clusters of creamy white flowers, providing a delightful contrast against its glossy, dark green foliage. As the seasons progress, these blossoms give way to attractive blue-black berries, a vital food source for local bird populations and a charming aesthetic addition to the autumn landscape. But the true spectacle often arrives in fall, when the leaves ignite in brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red-purple, making it a standout feature in any garden. 'A Cut Above' recommends the Arrowwood Viburnum for its versatility and low maintenance. It's an excellent choice for hedgerows, screening, bird gardens, or as a vibrant specimen plant.
