American cranberrybush

Viburnum opulus var. americanum

The American cranberrybush (Viburnum opulus var. americanum) is a stunning shrub or small tree. It typically grows up to 6m tall, with a spreading, somewhat upright form. The foliage is medium-green, and deeply-lobed leaves are toothed. Plant clusters of white or pink-tinged flowers from May to June, which transform into small, round, red berries in the fall. This beneficial plant attracts birds and other wildlife, is tolerant of different soils and can even tolerate damp conditions. Its ornamental appeal makes it a perfect choice for accents and hedging in your garden.
