Bring four-season interest to your landscape with Viburnum dentatum 'Nativestar® Plum Pudding'. You get spring clusters of creamy white blooms, then blue-black berries that add late-season color, followed by deep fall foliage tones. This hardy, deciduous shrub is a strong choice for borders, hedges, and naturalized plantings where you want reliable structure and seasonal change.

For best results, plant in full sun to part shade. You will see the densest growth and best flowering with more sun, but it will still perform with several hours of direct light. Provide moist, well-drained soil, though established plants can handle short dry spells. Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish, then keep moisture steady during extended heat or drought.

Mature size is about 60-84 inches tall with a spread of roughly 48-72 inches, so give it room to fill out. Space plants to match your goal: tighter for a hedge, wider for a natural look. Expect an upright, multi-stemmed habit that can be lightly shaped as needed.

Prune right after flowering if you want to reduce size or encourage a fuller form, since next season's flowers form on older wood. Remove a few of the oldest stems at the base over time to refresh the shrub and keep it vigorous. Planting more than one compatible arrowwood viburnum can improve fruit set for the best berry display.
