arrowwood viburnum

Viburnum dentatum

Arrowwood viburnum (Viburnum dentatum) is an attractive deciduous shrub with showy white blooms in spring and bright red berries in autumn. The rounded leaves are glossy green in summer, turning yellow, orange or reddish in fall. Arrowwood viburnums prefer full sun to part shade and moist, well-drained soils. They transplant easily and tolerate dry soils or occasional flooding. The small clusters of flowers attract bees and butterflies, while birds enjoy the fruit. This versatile native plant makes a good hedge or easy-care garden foundation.
