Blue Muffin® Viburnum
Blue Muffin Viburnum (Viburnum dentatum ‘Christom’) is a compact, deciduous shrub that brings multi-season interest to any landscape with its vibrant blue berries and beautiful white blooms. Thriving in USDA Hardiness Zones 3-8, this viburnum grows to a manageable size of 5-7 feet tall and wide, making it perfect for smaller gardens, mixed borders, or as a focal point in any landscape. In late spring to early summer, Blue Muffin Viburnum produces clusters of creamy white flowers, which attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing the biodiversity of your garden.
One of the most striking features of Blue Muffin Viburnum is its abundant display of bright blue berries in late summer and fall, which provide both a stunning visual contrast to its glossy green foliage and a valuable food source for birds and wildlife. These berries, combined with the shrub’s rich red fall foliage, create a beautiful, dynamic display in your garden throughout the changing seasons. Its compact size and upright growth habit make Blue Muffin Viburnum a versatile option for hedges, privacy screens, or as a stand-alone specimen.
In addition to its beauty, Blue Muffin Viburnum is low-maintenance and adaptable to a variety of soil types, thriving in full sun to partial shade. It is also deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for gardens where wildlife is prevalent. Whether you’re looking to attract birds or add four-season interest to your landscape, Blue Muffin Viburnum provides a perfect blend of ornamental appeal and ecological benefits with minimal care.
