A compact garden shrub covered in showy flat-topped clusters of creamy white flowers in late spring followed by striking blue berries, attractive to birds, reliable fall color; a rugged and adaptable shrub, ideal for the garden or as a natural hedge
Out of stock
Blue Muffin Viburnum is blanketed in stunning creamy white flat-top flowers at the ends of the branches in late spring. The powder blue fruits are held in abundance in spectacular clusters from early to late fall. It has forest green deciduous foliage. The serrated oval leaves turn an outstanding deep purple in the fall.
It is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season’s flowers. It is a good choice for attracting birds to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats.
