Chicago Lustre Arrowwood Viburnum

If you're a gardener who likes to get the biggest bang for your buck, the Chicago Lustre® Arrowwood Viburnum (Viburnum dentatum 'Synnestvedt') is a shrub that dazzles season after season. With vibrant fall color, unique berries, and a stunning display of white spring blooms, this lustrious shrub is a winning addition to your yard!

This versatile shrub also lights up with clusters of white blooms that stand out against its even, medium-green foliage in summer. Bees and butterflies love these petite flowers, and you will love that blooms often signal the coming of the Chicago Lustre®'s blue-black berries.

The Chicago Lustre® Arrowwood Viburnum, like other Viburnums, will ignite your autumn with spectacular shades of reds, yellows, and oranges! With persistent foliage that reddens slowly, you can enjoy watching the fall hues for weeks and admire its foliage's slow transition from green to cranberry red. Don't skip your opportunity to appreciate up-close the multi-colored leaves with deeply hued veining.

When you plant these strong shrubs in groups, you can expect a profusion of dark berries. They will need to cross-pollinate with the species Viburnum dentatum, or another dentatum selection that blooms a the same time, like Blue Muffin or Autumn Jazz.
