Looks great in any setting

Name:Blackhaw viburnum
(Viburum prunifolium)
Zones: 3 to 9
Size: 12 to 15 feet tall and 8 to 12 feet wide

Conditions: Full sun to partial shade; moist, well-drained soil

All viburnums are understory plants able to compete for light and space, so they know how to get along in any garden. There is a native viburnum in most regions across the Uuited States. My local favorite is the blackhaw viburnum. It is a large shub with clusters of creamy white flowers followed by pink -rose
berries, which birds love to eat. It berries turn blue-black in fall.
