Description
Viburnum Blue Muffin is a stunning, compact shrub that brings a refreshing burst of seasonal interest to the landscape. In late spring to early summer, it produces lovely clusters of creamy white flowers that contrast beautifully against its deep green, textural foliage. By late summer, the blooms give way to an impressive display of bright blue berries, adding a magnificent pop of color and interest into fall. In autumn, the foliage transforms into a satisfying mix of yellow, orange, and red, extending its seasonal appeal. With its tidy, upright form and multi-season beauty, this shrub is a standout choice for hedges, foundation plantings, and mixed borders.
