$16.95

Autumn Jazz® Arrowwood Viburnum, viburnum dentatum 'Ralph Senior', is a vase-shaped shrub with creamy white flowers blooming in late May to mid-June. This viburnum then produces clusters of blue-black berries, and this fruit is highly favored by birds. The summer foliage is crisp and dark green; the fall colors range from yellow to orange to red to burgundy, but varies in intensity. Its mature form is rounded, but sometimes takes on an upright appearance due to long, upright stems and suckers. It prefers full sun to partial shade; moist, well-drained soil is best, but can tolerate wet sites and some dryness as well; prefers a slightly acid soil. Autumn Jazz® Arrowwood Viburnum grows 10-12 feet tall and 8-10 feet wide. This viburnum is useful for its extreme durability in borders, screens, parking lots, and mass plantings. Viburnum tend to be multi-season plants with ornamental value throughout a large part of the season. ... get more information

Sweetshrub The Sweetshrub, Calycanthus floridus, or Carolina allspice is a dense, rounded deciduous shrub with a suckering habit which grows 6-9' tall with an equal or slightly greater spread. Flowers give way to brownish, urn-shaped fruits (seed capsules) which mature in fall and persist throughout the winter. Lustrous, dark green (pale beneath), ovate to elliptic leaves to 6" long turn golden yellow in fall. Leaves are aromatic when bruised. Also commonly called sweetshrub and strawberry bush because of the reference to the fragrant blooms which have been described as combining hints of pineapple, strawberry and banana. Another common name is hairy allspice which is in reference to the hairy twigs and leaf undersides of this plant. It is easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Remove root suckers promptly if naturalization is not desired. Use as a specimen near front door, patio or other living areas where the fragrant flower aroma may be enjoyed.
