Grows approx. 3-4' ht & sp
Viburnum obovatum 'Raulston's Hardy' carries a tight, dwarf habit and tends to be hardier than Mrs. Schiller's. Has a fine texture and small, narrow leaves on a very tight bun-shaped plant. The plant covers itself in clusters of white flowers in April but will often begin flowering in the fall and continue sporadically until spring. Flowers are followed by red fruits which become black and are highly favored by birds. In mild winters, it will remain mostly evergreen although often taking on purplish tones after frost. In colder areas, it will become semi-evergreen to fully deciduous. A good substitute for Boxwoods, it can be used in a variety of landscape settings.

'Shasta' is a large shrub that produces abundant flowers in the spring on horizontal branches followed by copious red fruits that eventually turn black, and are always a bird favorite. Large flower clusters feature showy outer snow-white sterile flowers. Fall leaf color is a magnificent reddish-purple and made even more stunning by the 'ridged' potato chip look. This plant grows well in sun to part shade and is adaptable to many soil types. Prune as needed after flowering, since next season's blossoms will appear on new growth. Introduced in 1979 by the U.S. National Arboretum.
