Description
Viburnum acerifolium (Mapleleaf Viburnum) is a deciduous, native flowering shrub valued for its delicate spring flowers, ornamental fruit, and vibrant fall foliage. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, this multi-stemmed shrub typically grows 3–6 feet tall and wide, forming a rounded, arching habit suited for woodland gardens, naturalized landscapes, and understory plantings.
In late spring, flat-topped clusters of creamy white flowers bloom above the foliage, attracting pollinators. These are followed by blue-black berries in late summer to fall that provide wildlife food. Leaves are medium green through summer and turn shades of orange, red, and purple in fall, offering notable seasonal color before dropping.
Ideal for mixed borders, woodland gardens, and wildlife-friendly landscapes, Viburnum acerifolium combines ornamental beauty with ecological value.
