Blue Muffin Viburnum

The Blue Muffin Viburnum is a compact selection of this native shrub, with remarkable azure-blue berries in fall. These cluster densely at the ends of the branches, after white flowers that bloom in May or June. The attractive glossy leaves turn yellows, oranges, reds, and even purples in fall. Growing about 6 feet tall and wide it is perfect for the back of shrub beds, among foundation plants around your home, in garden beds, or in woodland settings and wild gardens.

The Blue Muffin Viburnum is very hardy, growing even in zone 3, and it tolerates a wide range of growing conditions. Full sun and rich, moist, well-drained soil is best, but it grows in partial shade, clay soils, and dry places too, as well as wet ground and areas prone to flooding. It is generally free of pests, diseases and deer damage, and needs very little attention. Avoid pruning as this can reduce flowering and berries. A second variety of the same species is needed for a good berry crop. We recommend the Northern Burgundy™ Viburnum for this.
