Viburnum Arrowwood

Viburnum Arrowwood

Viburnum Arrowwood (Viburnum dentatum) is a versatile deciduous shrub prized for its seasonal beauty and adaptability. In late spring, it produces flat clusters of creamy white flowers that attract pollinators and add a fresh, bright look to the garden. These blooms are followed by blue-black berries that provide valuable food for birds, while its dark green foliage turns striking shades of yellow, orange, and red in autumn.

Arrowwood Viburnum is an excellent choice for natural hedges, mixed borders, and native plant gardens. It has a dense, upright growth habit and tolerates a wide range of growing conditions, including moist soils and partial shade. Known for its durability and low-maintenance nature, this shrub performs well in urban and rural landscapes alike. With minimal care, Viburnum Arrowwood delivers multi-season interest and supports local wildlife, making it both a beautiful and environmentally friendly addition to the garden.
