Viburnum, Arrow Red Feather

Red Feather® Arrowwood Viburnum is a medium-large shrub, so care should be taken when siting the plant. Its dense branching does especially well as a screen, shrub border, or large hedge.

Its growth habit and characteristics make it suitable for a range of landscape applications. It can serve as an accent plant, offering a focal point in garden designs, or be used en masse for impactful planting or hedges/screening, providing privacy or delineating areas within a garden. Additionally, it’s an excellent choice for general garden use, integrating well with other plants in mixed borders.

As Red Feather® Arrowwood Viburnum is self-infertile, you must plant two specimens to produce fruit. When the berries are produced all sorts of birds and small mammals will flock to the shrub. Eastern Bluebird, Robins, and Northern Flicker can all be seen consuming the ripe fruits in late summer.

If you don’t have a cross pollinating plant, you will still see the shrub alive with Butterfly and Bee activity in June when the large flower clusters bloom. This plant is also a larval host to the Spring Azure butterfly.
