Description
Viburnum Winterthur is a stunning multi-season shrub that delivers a spectacular display of color, texture, and structure throughout the year. In late spring to early summer, clusters of creamy white flowers emerge, creating a fresh, elegant statement. These are followed by glossy berries that transition from pale pink to deep blue, adding striking visual interest. As fall approaches, the foliage transforms into a magnificent deep burgundy-red, making this one of the finest shrubs for seasonal beauty. Its polished, compact form makes it a gorgeous addition to mixed borders, foundation plantings, and naturalized landscapes.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun to part shade
- Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots and promote healthy growth; once established, requires little supplemental watering except in prolonged dry periods
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
- Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring if shaping is desired
With its bold foliage, striking fall color, and beautiful berries, Viburnum Winterthur is a refreshing and versatile choice for adding year-round interest and structure to the landscape.
