Just what your garden ordered! The Nannyberry Viburnum (Viburnum lentago) is a native master of transformation and beauty. With the Nannyberry Viburnum, you don't have to work hard for its priceless rewards, including shockingly bright fall foliage, cherry-red berries finish ripening to blue-black, and profusions of pure white blooms.
When late spring arrives, you'll want to babysit your Nannyberry and keep your eyes peeled for its impending blooms. You will soon be rewarded with peppy and petite white to soft pink blooms that demonstrate that power in numbers is a great strategy for a striking spring display! The pure white blossoms are darling foamy, fizzy-looking flat clusters that the bees and butterflies adore these sweet flowers that provide them with plenty of options of where to land! You're not the only one that will anticipate the Nannyberry Viburnum's blooms.
The Nannyberry Viburnum features verdant, lively, glossy green foliage on arching branches. This upright shrub makes for a brilliant showing come fall. With deep veins and a slow color change, you will wake up to a different sight every day as the Nannyberry Viburnum transitions into a burning bush with remarkable bi-colored and tri-color leaves in every shade of red, yellow, and orange that you can imagine! Many will even deepen to shades of violet!
Planting and Application:
You and your local birds and squirrels will also appreciate the Nannyberry Viburnum's blue-black berries. If you really want to please your local wildlife, plant a few Nannyberries nearby one another for best pollination and berry production. Create groupings for birds to nest in and wildlife to care for. Block wind and noise and hide prying eyes, while screening off large areas. Growing upwards of 20 feet when left to their own devices, these narrow-growing shrubs can be limbed up into an ornamental tree form by exposing the lower multiple trunks.
The Nannyberry Viburnum is happy to adapt to your landscaping needs. Prune into a single-stem small tree or let it naturally spread its branches into a multi-stem shrub. Use yours as a specimen that will attract wildlife and season after season of interest. When planted along your property line, the Nannyberry Viburnum makes a fantastic informal hedge or screen.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Remember to trim your Nannyberry about every three years. Cold-hardy throughout USDA growing zones 2-8, these adaptable shrubs are happy in almost any kind of well-drained soil with moderate fertility with average moisture. Mulch the site well.
Wait to prune until after those amazing flowers are finished in spring. It's rare to need to tip prune, but you can shorten up the ends of branches right after flowering if you'd like. You can also skip tip pruning and renewal prune only if you wish to have fruit for birds. Renewal prune removes the largest, thickest stems from the ground every few years. This will rejuvenate your shrub. Leave the young stems in place, which will flower nicely for you next spring.
