American Cranberrybush

The American cranberrybush viburnum is native to the northeastern and northwestern parts of the U.S. It will reach a height of 12’ with an equal spread. It blooms in May with showy white, flat-topped clusters of flowers. The flowers give way to edible red fruits in the fall that are attractive to birds and may be made into preserves or jellies for humans. Fall color is bronze to red. It will grow in full sun to partial shade and is not fussy about soil types or conditions. Cultivars are more commonly found in the trade than the species.

Viburnums are a versatile genus of multi-stemmed shrubs that are well suited to the home landscape due to their range of sizes and cultural adaptability. Some viburnums are noted for their fragrant flowers; most bear small fruit that may add visual interest. Many viburnums have attractive fall color. There are over 100 different varieties of viburnum at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
