Product Details
Looking for arrowwood viburnum for sale? This is Viburnum dentatum, a native shrub that carries flat white flower clusters in spring and blue-black berries by late summer.

Arrowwood Viburnum Size, Zones and Sun
Plan on a rounded shrub 5 to 10 feet tall that spreads 6 to 10 feet. Arrowwood is hardy in zones 3 to 8 and doesn't fuss about light, since sun and part shade both work. It grows in clay, loam, sand or thin rocky soil, and a damp spot suits it as well as a dry stretch.
Arrowwood Viburnum Flowers and Berries
Creamy white flowers open in flat-topped clusters in spring. The fruit is blue-black, about a quarter inch across, and hangs on from July through September. Fall color varies by plant, from a plain yellow to orange, red or purple.
Arrowwood Viburnum and Wildlife
Songbirds, grouse, wild turkeys and squirrels eat the berries, and the flowers feed pollinators. It's also a possible host for the spring azure butterfly. Our arrowwood viburnum flowering shrub guide goes deeper on how it's used.
Where to Plant Arrowwood Viburnum
Hedgerows, field edges, screens along a fence and wildlife strips are all good spots. For a hedge, set plants 5 to 6 feet apart. To mix it with other natives, see our native shrubs for Tennessee landscapes.
Planting Arrowwood Viburnum Bare-root
Soak the roots for an hour, dig a hole as wide as the root spread and plant at the depth the shrub grew. Firm the soil and water well. Mulch to hold moisture, and water weekly through the first summer.
Buying Arrowwood Viburnum in Bulk
At 5 feet apart a pack of 50 makes a hedgerow about 250 feet long, and 100 stretch it to around 500. The 1-2 foot size is the easiest to plant at scale, and the 3-4 foot plants give you a hedge sooner.
Good to Know About Arrowwood Viburnum
Viburnum leaf beetle and whiteflies can chew the foliage in some seasons. Deer browse the twigs and leaves, so fence young plants where deer are common.
Arrowwood Viburnum in Mixed Plantings
In a mixed hedgerow arrowwood supplies spring flowers and late-summer fruit. Prune out a few of the oldest stems after flowering to keep growth fresh, and the shrub stays full from the base.
