Product Description

Viburnum sieboldii, commonly known as Sieboldii Arrowwood, is a large, deciduous shrub or small tree admired for its multi-season interest and bold structure. Growing 12 to 20 feet tall and wide, this ornamental plant features clusters of creamy white flowers in mid-spring, followed by bright red berries that ripen to black and attract birds. Its broad, leathery leaves emerge with a reddish tinge, mature to deep green, and turn purple-red in fall.

Sieboldii Arrowwood provides an attractive focal point in mixed borders or as a specimen plant, but as a non-native species, it offers limited support to local ecosystems.
