Product Description

Viburnum nudum ‘Winterthur’ – Winterthur Smooth Viburnum is a native, multi-season shrub prized for its glossy foliage, creamy white spring flowers, and vibrant fruit display. Blooming in late spring, clusters of small white flowers attract pollinators, including bees and butterflies. As summer progresses, the flowers give way to clusters of berries that transition from pink to blue-black, providing an important food source for birds and other wildlife. In autumn, the glossy dark green leaves turn brilliant shades of deep burgundy and wine-red, adding exceptional fall interest.

Winterthur Smooth Viburnum is a compact cultivar, growing to about 5-6 feet tall and wide, making it perfect for smaller landscapes. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, acidic soils but is adaptable to a variety of garden conditions. Drought-tolerant once established, this low-maintenance shrub is ideal for native plant gardens, rain gardens, and naturalized borders.
