Arrowwood Viburnum Has So Much Natural Charm

Arrowwood Viburnum is rich in natural charm. In the early weeks of spring, the glorious, white-to-cream flowers are among the first bloomers. Each angelic blossom is petite, under a quarter-inch in width, and with five little petals that create a bell shape. Despite its diminutive size, it makes an immense impact as these tiny flowers join together in large, fluffy clusters.

The flowers fade away in a couple of short weeks, and the four-inch long, glossy, toothy-edged emerald leaves appear for the rest of the growing season. The foliage of this shrub is full and beautiful.
