Plant arrowwood viburnum (Viburnum dentatum) for multi-season interest and wildlife value in hedges, borders, or naturalized areas. You will get flat clusters of creamy-white spring flowers, followed by blue-black fruit that birds enjoy, plus dependable red to purple fall color.

Give it full sun for the best flowering and fruit set, but it also performs well in partial shade and can tolerate shade. It adapts to many soils, from loam to clay, and handles average to moist sites; once established it also tolerates periods of dryness. Plan on a mature size around 72-120 inches tall with a similar spread, and allow room for its naturally arching, multi-stem habit.

Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish, then mulch to keep soil moisture more even and reduce summer stress. If you need to shape or thin, prune right after flowering so you do not remove next season's buds. For a screen or hedge, space plants with their mature width in mind and rejuvenate older stems over time by removing a portion of the oldest canes at the base.

This shrub is cold hardy (zones 2-8) and fits well in native plantings, rain-garden edges, and mixed shrub borders. Pair it with other natives for a layered look and steady habitat value through the seasons.
