Description
Viburnum Autumn Jazz is a stunning, multi-season shrub that delivers bold texture and magnificent color throughout the year. In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of creamy white flowers that create a fresh, eye-catching display. By late summer, deep blue-black berries emerge, adding even more interest to the landscape. In fall, the foliage transforms into a breathtaking mix of orange, red, and burgundy, making it one of the finest choices for vibrant seasonal color. With its strong branching structure and upright form, this shrub works beautifully as a natural hedge, privacy screen, or mixed border addition.

With its refreshing flowers, striking berries, and grand fall color, Viburnum Autumn Jazz is an inspiring choice for adding texture, seasonal brilliance, and structure to the landscape.
