Walter's Viburnum (Viburnum obovatum) is a fast-growing, versatile shrub that adds beauty and ecological value to any landscape. Reaching an impressive 10-15 feet in height and width, this adaptable native plant thrives in full sun or part shade and prefers moist, acidic soils rich in organic matter or sand. Its delicate white flowers bloom throughout the year, followed by striking red and black fruit that provide visual interest and food for wildlife. As a larval host for the Spring Azure butterfly, Walter’s Viburnum plays a crucial role in supporting local pollinators, attracting bees and other beneficial insects.
With its dense growth habit and ability to flourish in diverse environments, this resilient shrub is an excellent choice for hedges, wildlife gardens, or naturalized plantings. Whether you're looking for year-round beauty, ecological benefits, or a low-maintenance addition to your garden, Walter’s Viburnum delivers on all fronts.
