Viburnum
Viburnum is an outstanding, woody, deciduous plant that is easy to grow. The one
attribute we can't have in our hardy climate is the fragrance which makes
viburnums in warmer climates highly prized.
Planting
Viburnum like slightly acidic soil but will tolerate a wide range of soil
types. Prepare the soil to be well-drained and allow plenty of space.
Do not plant too deeply, otherwise they could have trouble with a stem
borer.
Tips
American Cranberrybush is one of the varieties of Viburnum native to Minnesota.
The flowers are white, large, flat-topped clusters which appear in late
May to early June. They become covered in red fruit in the summer and
turn a lush bergundy color in the fall.
