Arrowwood Viburnum (Viburnum dentatum)
Add vibrant structure, multi-season beauty, and exceptional toughness to your yard with native Arrowwood Viburnum. These saplings are well-rooted and fast-growing, making them an ideal choice for naturalized hedges or specimen plantings.
Aesthetics & Form
Late Spring: Showy, flat-topped clusters of creamy white flowers cover the shrub, standing out against bright foliage.
Summer: Glossy, coarsely toothed, arrow-shaped leaves form a dense, lush green screen. Late summer brings clusters of striking dark blue to bluish-black berries.
Autumn: Foliage transforms into vibrant fall hues ranging from deep reddish-purple to bright yellow-orange.
Winter: Multi-stemmed, upright habit with straight, gray-brown branches creates structural interest in snow.
Wildlife & Ecological Value
Pollinators: Spring flower clusters attract a wide variety of native bees, hoverflies, and butterflies.
Songbirds: Highly nutritious, fat-rich blue berries are an essential late-summer and fall food source for songbirds like robins, bluebirds, and thrushes.
Host Plant & Shelter: Serves as a caterpillar host plant for the Spring Azure butterfly and hummingbird clearwing moth; dense branching provides excellent nesting cover for birds.
Quick Planting Guide
Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade (full sun yields the heaviest flower and fruit production).
Soil: Exceptionally adaptable; thrives in moist, well-drained loams, but handles heavy clay, silt, and occasional wet or dry conditions once established.
Spacing: Space 6–8 ft apart for a tight privacy hedge or living fence; plant 8–10+ ft apart for natural specimen growth.
Establishment: Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot and same depth. Water thoroughly at planting and keep soil moist through its first growing season.
