 V. dentatum                             Arrowwood Viburnum

Arrowwood is native to south east U.S. It is variable in size, growing 6 to 15 feet tall and as wide. The dark green, 4-inch leaves turn yellow to reddish purple in fall. Cream-colored flowers in late spring are followed by blue-black fruit. This species is tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions, including high pH soils, heavy clay soils and heavy shade, but prefers well drained soil.

V. dentatum 'Chicago Lustre'      Chicago Lustre  Arrowwood Viburnum
A new selection introduced by Synnesvedt Nursery of Illinois in 1967, originally found in the collections of the Morton Arboretum. Foliage is a glossy, lustrous green, hence its name. This multi-stemmed shrub matures at 10-15' with an upright rounded habit. Creamy-white flowers in June followed by metallic blue fruit from late August through October. A Chicago land Grows introduction. Zone 3
 

V. dentatum 'Deamii'                   Deami Arrowwood Viburnum
Although rare in the trade, an excellent compact shrub that should attract landscapers. Native from southern Ohio to Missouri. Deam viburnum grows 5-6' tall and wide in 8 years, ultimately reaching 6-8' tall and wide. Its habit features stiff, densely branched, light gray shoots and smooth light gray bark. Flowers are 2-4" creamy-white flat-topped cymes appearing from late May to early June followed by one-quarter inch wide fruit that ripens blue-black in September and October, and held high above the foliage on attractive dark burgundy pedicles. Along with its compact size, its unique foliage is a superior selling feature: exceptionally lustrous dark green with a lacquer-like finish that prevails even during the hottest, driest summers. Fall color is reddish purple to orange-red. Zone 3
 

 

 V. dentatum 'J.N. Select'            Red Feather Arrowwood Viburnum
A Johnson Nursery selection from Wisconsin, selected from a block of seedlings because of its beautiful red tips in the spring and early summer. As new foliage ages, green veins appear on the red leaf surfaces, giving the leaves a colorful, featherlike design. Unlike other V. dentatum cultivars, this selection develops a rich maroon fall color on a consistent basis. Grows 8-10’ tall and wide. Zone 3
 

V. dentatum 'Moonglo'                   Moonglo Arrowwood Viburnum
A new, interesting plant that will be in great demand, introduced by Moon Nurseries of Pennsylvania. A very unique rounded form of Arrowwood reaching 8' tall and 8' wide. The flowers of this cultivar are very interesting: creamy-white but rather than flat like the species, they have a rounded form. The stamens stand erect above the flowers giving it a puffball effect. As the flowers age, they look like cinnamon was sprinkled on top. Fruit is blue in late August and early September, born in clusters that are a tight rounded form, mimicking the shape of the flower cluster. If that isn't enough, the foliage is lustrous dark green and the largest of the species and more rounded that the species. Once this plant catches on, you won't be able to get enough. Zone 4
 
V. dentatum 'Pearle Bleu'              Pearl Blue Arrowood Viburnum
Colorful fruit is the selling point of this cultivar. Pearle Blue is French for blue pearls, which describes the heavy fruit display provided by this 10'-12' rounded form plant. Fruit is larger than most dentatum and held in a tighter cluster. Great for attracting birds. Zone 3
 

V. dilitatum 'Cardinal Candy'          Cardinal Candy Viburnum
A special new selection with improved hardiness and abundant shiny scarlet-red fruit. Discovered in a batch of seedling grown plants, after which a -30 degree cold spell killed off all except 'Cardinal Candy'. Tons of creamy-white flowers cover this well-branched rounded plant in May. Zone 4
 

V. dilitatum ‘Erie’                            Erie Viburmun
A full, compact, rounded shrub reaching 6' high and 8-10' wide. Foliage is dark green assuming a good yellow, orange, and red fall color. In May, Erie wears a blanket of creamy- white, fuzzy flowers that nearly hides the leaves. Fruit is red, ripening in August, and then turning coral with the first frost and persists to mid-winter. Zone 5
 

V. x Juddi                                      Judd Viburnum
A selection from a cross between V. carlesi and V. bitchieuense made by William Judd of the Arnold Arboretum with the best features of both parents. A plant with a full rounded growth habit maturing at 6-8'. Leaves are bluish-green and not as rounded as V. carlesi and stems are finer in texture and more refined than V. carlesi. Pink buds open to highly fragrant 2 1/2-3 1/2" semi-snowball flowers in April and May followed by reddish-black fruits. Burgundy fall color. Wonderful scent. Zone 4
 
Sorry no picture V. x Jackii                                        Jackii Viburnum

V. lantana 'Mohican'                         Mohican Viburnum
A U.S.D.A. selection from a seedling population in Poland, introduced in 1956. Habit is very dense, upright when young, then becoming spreading, but still remaining dense upon maturity. Foliage is thick, dark green, and heavy textured. Original plant was 9' tall and 9' wide after 15 years. Flowers are creamy-white for about 1 month in late April. Fruit changes from green, to orange-red, then finally black, but all colors can be seen in the same fruit clusters at one time. Fruit remains in an orange-red state about 4 weeks before turning black. Foliage holds well after frost. Zone 3
V. lantana 'Variegata’                       Variegated WayfaringViburnum
Growth habit like that of V. lantana 'Mohican' but slightly smaller. A very high quality foliage plant. Leaves are flecked with shades of light and dark green, white, chartreuse, and lime. A visual lemon-lime spritzer! Flowers and fruit are the same as V. l. 'Mohican'. Partial shade is recommended to keep variegation vibrant. Zone 3
