Viburnum dentatum 'Chicago Luster'

Viburnum dentatum 'Chicago Lustre', commonly known as 'Chicago Lustre' arrowwood viburnum, is a deciduous shrub with an upright, dense habit, recognized for its hardiness and abundant spring blooms. In spring, it is covered with large, flat cymes of small, slightly fragrant, creamy-white flowers, rich in nectar and highly appreciated by pollinators. Its lustrous dark green foliage, brighter than the species type, turns beautiful shades of yellow to purple in autumn. In late summer, it produces abundant clusters of decorative, glaucous blue-black berries that are highly sought after by birds. Vigorous and adaptable, Viburnum dentatum 'Chicago Lustre' is perfectly suited for informal hedges, natural screens, and biodiversity-friendly landscaping, while offering excellent hardiness and high tolerance to various soil types.
