Arrowwood Viburnum is a shrub for all seasons. From its bright white flowers in spring followed by brilliant blue berries in summer, to its orange and burgundy color in fall and gorgeous twiggy form in winter, this plant has it all. 'Blue Muffin' is smaller and more compact than the straight species, making it a choice selection for even the smallest garden. And if there weren’t enough reasons to love this Viburnum, it is also a fantastic wildlife plant, serving as a larval host for many caterpillars, and of course the flowers, berries, and cover are all appreciated by our lovely, winged friends.
