Arrowwood Viburnum

Arrowwood Viburnum is a native deciduous shrub valued for creamy spring flowers, toothed green foliage, blue-black fruit, and colorful fall interest. Its dense, rounded form makes it an excellent choice for natural screens, shrub borders, wildlife gardens, and native-style landscape plantings.

Why choose Arrowwood Viburnum?

Choose Arrowwood Viburnum for multi-season beauty and dependable landscape structure. In spring, flat-topped white flower clusters add fresh color and support pollinators. Summer foliage creates a handsome green backdrop, while late-season fruit can attract birds when cross-pollination occurs. Its upright, rounded habit works well for informal hedges, privacy edges, mass plantings, and naturalized borders. This adaptable shrub brings a strong native presence to landscapes where seasonal interest and practical screening are both important.

Key Characteristics

Botanical Name: Viburnum dentatum
Common Name: Arrowwood Viburnum
Plant Type: Deciduous shrub
Growth Habit: Upright, rounded, multi-stemmed shrub with arching older branches

Arrowwood Viburnum Additional Information

Arrowwood Viburnum typically blooms in late spring to early summer, producing clusters of small creamy white flowers over glossy, toothed green leaves. When a genetically different compatible arrowwood viburnum is planted nearby, flowers may develop into blue-black berry-like fruits that mature from late summer into fall and provide seasonal interest for birds.

This shrub is deciduous, with foliage often shifting into yellow, red, or reddish-purple tones in fall before leaf drop. Its dense branching and naturally rounded form make it useful as an informal hedge, screen, background shrub, native border plant, or mass planting. Pruning is best done shortly after flowering because next year’s blooms form on older wood. Mature shrubs may sucker gradually, creating a fuller colony-like effect in naturalized settings.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant Arrowwood Viburnum in full sun to partial shade with moist, well-drained soil. Set the root ball level with the surrounding grade, backfill with native soil, and water thoroughly after planting.

2. Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during the first growing season to help roots establish. Once established, water during extended dry periods, especially in full sun or fast-draining soil.

3. Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature. Keep mulch pulled back slightly from the main stems.

4. Pruning: Prune shortly after flowering to shape the shrub or remove damaged and crossing stems. For older plants, selectively thin older canes near the base to refresh growth while preserving its natural form.
