Description

A highly attractive and easy to grow North American native flowering shrub, Viburnum acerifolium, commonly called Maple Leaf Viburnum sports leaves that resemble those of a maple tree. Also highly adaptable, it will thrive in sunny or shady landscape or woodland setting and is a fine addition to the flowering shrub border. In our north central Georgia gardens it usually blooms from April to June. Abundant flat-top clusters of butterfly-attracting pretty white flowers are sometimes followed by clusters of blue-black berries that are enjoyed by the birds. During the warm season the handsome leaves are green shades that turn to red, pink and purple shades with the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall. We’ve seen no significant problems with disease or insects and deer don’t bother it. If you love Viburnums like we do, this 3-season beauty is definitely one you’ll want to add to your collection!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 4 to 6 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, the Maple Leaf Viburnum is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces and home foundation plantings or in groupings or as a natural hedge in larger sunny to shady woodland, flowering shrub or landscape borders. A fine addition to Viburnum gardens, native gardens, butterfly and beneficial pollinator gardens, bird and wildlife gardens, white theme gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 3 to 3.5 feet apart for solid hedge; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants.

Growing Preferences

Maple Leaf Viburnum is very easy to grow in most any moist but well drained soil of average fertility and full sun to mostly or dappled shade. It prefers a loamy soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants it does not like constantly soggy or wet conditions. Deer haven’t touched it in our gardens. Doers not require pruning however responds well to it for shaping purposes or to remove a stray branch. Any heavier pruning is best done immediately after flowering, but do keep in mind that by removing spent flowers berries will not be produced.
