1 Nannyberry Viburnum Bush (Viburnum lentago) Live Bare Root Plant 12-14 Inches

Nannyberry Viburnum (Viburnum lentago) is a versatile native shrub that offers year-round interest. In spring, it produces flat-topped clusters of small white flowers that attract pollinators. These are followed by berries that transition from green to red and finally to blue-black, providing food for birds. The glossy green foliage turns attractive shades of red and purple in autumn. Nannyberry is an excellent choice for hedges, screens, wildlife plantings, or as a specimen shrub in the landscape.

Planting & Care

Plant your bare root Nannyberry as soon as possible after arrival. Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the roots spread out, place the plant at the same depth it grew previously, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the trunk.

Once established, Nannyberry is relatively low-maintenance. Prune as needed in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Fertilize lightly in early spring if growth appears weak. With proper care, this native shrub will provide beauty and wildlife value for years to come.
