Willowwood Viburnum

Willowwood viburnum was a selection made at Willowwood Farms, New Jersey, in 1928. It is noted for its lustrous foliage and arching habit. Green buds open to white flowers in May, which are followed by fruit that goes from green to pink to red to black.

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.
