Winterthur Witherod Viburnum is a large shrub that is easy to maintain and provides a lot of visual interest in a landscape. Large spring flowers are white and have a sweet fragrance. By late summer, the flowers are replaced by berries that are initially a light pink before transitioning into a dark blueish black. The flowers and berries are offset by elliptic glossy green foliage that puts on a dazzling display in the fall and turns shades of maroon and dark purple. rThis deciduous shrub has a dense, rounded form, making it a natural choice for a privacy hedge. Butterflies enjoy the flowers, and birds are drawn to the berries and will seek refuge in the hiding spots created by the dense foliage. Winterthur Witherod Viburnum is deer resistant and perfect for woodland plantings. This plant is native to North America, and once it settles in, it thrives with little care. Winterthur Witherod Viburnum is drought tolerant once established, but water during a dry period supports continued growth.rWinterthur Witherod Viburnum CarerWinterthur Witherod Viburnum needs at least 6 hours of sunlight per day, so a spot that receives full sun is best.
