Arrowwood Viburnum Shrubs

Arrowwood Viburnum – Native Beauty with Wildlife Appeal

Arrowwood Viburnum (Viburnum dentatum) is a versatile, deciduous shrub prized for its multi-season interest and resilience. In spring, it features clusters of creamy-white flowers, followed by glossy green leaves and striking blue-black berries by late summer.

This native shrub is an excellent wildlife supporter, drawing birds and pollinators. It also shines in the fall, when the foliage turns shades of red, orange, or burgundy. Its upright, dense form makes it ideal for hedges, privacy screens, or naturalized borders in both urban and wild landscapes.
