Viburnum opulus Nanum

Dwarf European Cranberrybush Viburnum

Dwarf European Cranberrybush Viburnum (Viburnum opulus ‘Nanum’) grows as a very compact mound. Small leaves and dense branching give it a neat, low outline suited to edging or grouped planting.

Choose this selection primarily for its form. Flowers and fruit are usually scarce or absent, so it does not offer the abundant bloom display of larger snowball viburnums.

Grow in sun or partial shade with good drainage. It generally needs little pruning or other routine care.
