Blue Muffin® Viburnum (Viburnum dentatum ‘Blue Muffin’) is a structural shrub with white blooms mid-spring, blue drupes late summer into fall, and good fall color. They prefer mesic soil in sun to part sun but can tolerate light shade. They can grow to be over 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide and are a good structural plant for the slopes of larger plantings. Underplant with Pennsylvania Sedge (Carex pensylvanica) and Foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia).
Maintenance
Prune in late winter to maintain height and shape. Remove any dead or diseased wood.
