Brandywine Viburnum Plant
The Brandywine Viburnum is a striking shrub celebrated for its continuous seasonal color. Its glossy green leaves transform into a rich wine-red hue in autumn. In spring, it produces lovely white flowers, which later give way to a captivating display of pink and powder blue fruits in the fall. This native plant is a magnet for birds, thanks to its bright ornamental berries. It's easy to cultivate in full sun to part shade and tolerates wet soil conditions, requiring consistent moisture during hot periods. It is also resistant to deer.

What customers say
Customers highly value the Brandywine Viburnum for its exceptional ornamental appeal, especially the brilliant maroon fall foliage and persistent blue fruit. This plant is considered a premium landscape addition once established. However, initial experiences are often challenging. Many report receiving small, stressed specimens upon arrival, leading to disappointment. A major point of frustration involves unclear pollination requirements; buyers expecting berries from a single plant are often left without fruit because a compatible pollinator is necessary. While most plants eventually thrive, the slow initial growth rate is frequently noted. Success hinges on proper establishment and understanding the need for cross pollination to achieve the signature berries.
