With over 150 species and various cultivars, there is a viburnum for almost every garden.

Many viburnums are native to north America and provide beauty and often fragrant flowers and food for songbirds.

The larger viburnums can make for great hedges and screens along a property edge.

Today’s spotlight is on four of the “smaller” viburnums native to the eastern US.
