Viburnum dilatatum Michael Dodge

Michael Dodge Viburnum

Michael Dodge linden viburnum combines creamy white flower clusters in late spring with golden-yellow fruit in fall. Green leaves turn red as the season closes, setting off the berries. Its rounded growth suits a shrub border, informal hedge or mass planting.

Plant in sun or partial shade with moist, well-drained soil. A different linden viburnum that flowers at the same time improves fruit production; Cardinal Candy is a grower-recommended partner.
