Forming mid-sized rounded, upright shrubs, these deciduous shrubs look fantastic anywhere in the sun!

Very cold hardy, these deciduous shrubs thrive in the frigid USDA zones 3 through 6 winters with no problems!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Cranberrybush Viburnum are hardy natives and the cultivar Spring Green is just as adaptable and hardy as the rest of the family! While it does not tolerate prolonged drought or dense shade, it does best in full sun to partial shade locations with ease! Like other Viburnum varieties, it does best in moist, well-drained, loamy soils, but will tolerate less-than-ideal conditions and heavier clay soils. Careful pruning allows this shrub to maintain its natural shape while encouraging the development of new wood, so only prune right after flowering (though you will remove the ornamental berries in the process). Renewal pruning controls size without removing the fall berries, by cutting out a few largest, oldest limbs every 3-5 years.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Adaptable to Most Well-Drained Soil Types
- Provide Mulched Beds & Moderate, Regular Moisture
- Prune After Flowering To Deadhead & Shape Shrub
- Deer Don't Prefer The Taste & Juglone Resistant
Fragrance, color, and adaptability, the Spring Green Compact Cranberrybush Viburnum is just the right size for your yard! Hurry and order these neighbor, bird, and bee-friendly shrubs from NatureHills.com today and you'll be amazed how you really can please everyone!
