The Astonishing Maple Leaf Viburnum

Looking for a shrub to add some color to a garden? Then consider the Maple Leaf Viburnum! Easily identifiable by its maple shaped leaves it can grow to be four feet across and six feet tall. The shrub blooms white blossoms with stamen in the spring and grows berries by late summer. When autumn arrives its leaves turn into vibrant colors and add a splash of scenery to any garden. Requiring little maintenance and pest-resistant it is one of the hardiest plants around.

 

Utilizing Maple Leaf Viburnum

The shrub is native to North America where it is typically found in the undergrowth of forests and along steams and lakes. It prefers a moist, well-drained, acidic environment but can tolerate dry soil once established. The shrub is primarily used for hedges, ground cover, pots, and as a barrier between different gardens and lawns. The shrub produces flat-tipped white flowers in the spring followed by berries which ripen to a deep blue color in the fall. As autumn takes hold its leaves turn red, dark purple, and pink adding a dash of color to any landscape. The plant benefits the wildlife around it, attracting squirrels, bees, butterflies, and other pollinators that come to feed on its nectar and berries. Herbivores rarely touch it making it the plant for areas with high deer populations.

Planting Maple Leaf Viburnum

When picking one up from from the nursery ask for different genetic variations: the plant needs to cross pollinate to produce its deep blue fall berries. The Maple Leaf Viburnum needs to be planted about three feet away from other vegetation and requires frequent irrigation when first planted but not so much once established. It spreads through rhizomes and suckers but is tolerant to pruning, best done in the late winter or early spring. Overall, it’s a beautiful and hardy plant that benefits the landscape and the organisms that live around it.

Maple Leaf Viburnum-great wildlife plant and...

I purchased 20 of these hard to find viburnum for our Friends of Mashpee NWR pollinator and wildlife gardens. The bare roots came in good shape and the root stock was very strong. Hard to tell if they will make it as they were dormant but got them planted into pots and dug into the ground to overwinter. Come spring I'll know if they made it. Excellent shrub for shady spots and great for nesting songbirds once it matures and provides tasty berries for those staying overwinter.

Thanks so much for your review MaryKay, we love getting feedback about our plants and take pride in our customer service. Please get in touch if there is anything else we can do to make your day.
