BLACKHAW VIBURNUM
The Blackhaw Viburnum (Viburnum prunifolium) is a native North American shrub that earns its place in the landscape across every season. In spring, it puts on a show of flat-topped clusters of creamy white flowers that attract pollinators and signal the season's arrival. Summer brings glossy dark green foliage and small blue-black fruits that wildlife — especially birds — find irresistible. Come fall, the leaves transform into a rich tapestry of red, purple, and burgundy, rivaling many dedicated ornamental trees.
Beyond its beauty, Blackhaw is remarkably tough. It tolerates a wide range of soils, handles both sun and shade, and thrives with minimal care once established — making it an excellent choice for naturalized areas, woodland edges, hedgerows, or as a specimen shrub in formal landscapes.
