Trilobed viburnum 'Compacta'
FamilyAdoxaceae
Viburnum trilobum ‘Compacta’, also known as compact cranberrybush viburnum, is a hardy deciduous shrub valued for its dense habit and versatility in the garden. This more compact selection of cranberrybush viburnum develops a rounded silhouette, generally wider than tall, ideal for low hedges, naturalistic borders, and foundation plantings. In spring, abundant white flower clusters appear, attracting pollinators. These are followed by clusters of bright red fruits that persist into fall, which are very ornamental and appreciated by wildlife. Its medium green foliage turns beautiful orange-red shades in autumn, adding significant seasonal interest. Viburnum trilobum ‘Compacta’ adapts to well-drained soils and tolerates various conditions, making it an excellent choice for northern landscapes.
