Viburnum dilitatum Linden

Linden Viburnum

Linden Viburnum is a substantial leafy shrub with white spring flower clusters and conspicuous red fruit. Broad, toothed leaves create a coarse texture, then take on variable bronze and reddish tones in fall.

Upright stems and basal shoots can develop into a dense thicket. The species spreads aggressively in some eastern regions and may suppress nearby native vegetation, so it needs careful local assessment and room to manage its growth.

Grow in sun or partial shade in average soil with good drainage. Established plants tolerate some drought.
