Growing Zones
Looking for a snow-white showstopper? The Eskimo Viburnum (Viburnum 'Eskimo') is a deciduous flowering bush with large, fragrant clusters of creamy white blooms in spring. Its rounded form grows 4-5 feet tall and wide, making it the perfect compact Viburnum for smaller gardens and foundation plantings. The blossoms smell sweet and fresh, attracting pollinators, and this beauty is beloved for its dense growth habit and consistent performance.
Unlike hybrid cousins that grow large and sprawling, Eskimo Viburnum keeps a neat, tidy shape with glossy dark green foliage that holds interest all season long. In fall, the leaves turn shades of deep red to purple, giving you a multi-season garden appeal. This plant has a well-branched structure and a uniform dome-like habit, making it an excellent low-maintenance shrub.
A member of the beloved Viburnum family, this selection was bred for compact beauty and resilience. Viburnums have long been cherished in gardens for their clusters of blooms, seasonal foliage color, and wildlife-friendly berries. While some relatives boast fruits, the Eskimo Viburnum is primarily treasured for its heavy flowering and ornamental form.
