About this plant
Alleghany Viburnum is a distinguished deciduous shrub prized for its exceptional hardiness and striking appearance. This hybrid boasts thick, leathery, dark green leaves that are deeply veined and persist late into the fall, creating a dense and attractive screen or specimen. In late spring, 'Alleghany' explodes with clusters of creamy white flowers, providing a beautiful contrast against its dark foliage. These blossoms are followed by an abundance of glossy red berries that mature to black, offering a valuable food source for birds and extending its ornamental appeal well into winter. Excellent for privacy hedges, foundation plantings, or as a stand-alone specimen, Alleghany Viburnum thrives in a variety of conditions and requires minimal maintenance, making it a superb choice for both experienced and novice gardeners.
