Arrowwood Viburnum is a versatile native shrub growing 6–10 feet tall, named for the straight, stiff stems used by Indigenous peoples to make arrow shafts. It produces creamy white flower clusters in late spring, followed by clusters of blue-black berries in fall. Native to eastern North America, it adapts well to sun or shade and moist or dry soils. Arrowwood Viburnum is one of the most wildlife-friendly native shrubs available.
