- Blue Muffin®: This is an exciting compact selection of Arrowwood viburnum. In spring, the plant is covered with beautiful white flowers, and later in summer, clusters of rich blue berries form.
- Plant two distinct cultivars of species for more excellent fruit display. Chicago Lustre® is a good pollinator.
- Great as a low hedge or in the foundation planting.
- Blue Muffin® is adaptable to various conditions, from full sun to shade and most soil types.
- Appearance: Blue Muffin Arrowwood is known for its attractive foliage and vibrant berries. It typically grows to a height of 5 to 7 feet and has a similar spread. The leaves are glossy, dark green and have a toothed edge, which turns to shades of yellow, orange, or red in the fall.
- Flowers and Berries: The shrub produces clusters of small, white flowers in late spring to early summer. These flowers are visually appealing and attract pollinators such as bees. Following the flowering period, the plant produces tiny, blueberries that resemble blueberries, hence the name "Blue Muffin." These berries are a food source for birds and other wildlife.
- Growing Conditions: Blue Muffin Arrowwood is adaptable to various soil types but prefers well-drained soil. It thrives in full sun to partial shade. The plant is relatively low-maintenance and is tolerant of urban pollution, making it suitable for city gardens.
- Uses in Landscaping: Due to its compact size and ornamental features, this shrub is often used in landscaping as hedges, borders, or specimen plants. It can also be used for erosion control on slopes.
- Care and Maintenance: Pruning is generally done after flowering to maintain the desired shape and size. It is also essential to ensure the plant is watered during dry spells, especially when it is newly planted.
