Share:Dormancy Notice: This plant, like many others, enters dormancy or semi-dormancy in the late fall through early spring. *THIS PLANT IS NOT DEAD. It is completely healthy but upon receiving the plant, you may notice it exhibits fewer leaves, discoloration, or complete leaf drop. This is normal and essential to the plant's health. In fact, planting during dormancy promotes root growth, giving your plant a better start for spring, when new foliage will begin to grow.

When a -25 degree cold spell killed all the Viburnum dilatatum seedlings except one, Indiana's Rod Henneke knew he had something special.

Bright red, extraordinary, and abundant berries make for a stunning display in the fall. Fruiting appears to be strong even without another pollinator in the area.
