Viburnum dentatum 'Blue Muffin'

Blue Muffin Viburnum

Blue Muffin arrowwood viburnum (Viburnum dentatum ‘Christom’) offers green foliage, white flowers, and blue fruits when a compatible pollinator is present. Its upright branching develops into a useful medium-sized landscape shrub.

For dependable berries, grow a different arrowwood selection with overlapping bloom nearby; Chicago Lustre is recommended by the grower. Avoid pruning away the flowers or developing fruit if the autumn crop is a priority.

Choose sun or partial shade and well-drained soil. This adaptable shrub tolerates a range of soil conditions. Water during establishment; where deer feed on flower buds, protection may be needed to preserve fruiting.
