Winterthur Smooth Witherod Viburnum 1 Live Plant – 2 Gallon Pot – Viburnum nudum 'Winterthur'

Winterthur Smooth Witherod Viburnum (Viburnum nudum 'Winterthur') is a deciduous ornamental shrub valued for its glossy, deep green foliage, creamy white spring flowers, colorful ornamental berries, and rich wine-red autumn leaves. This cultivated selection of native smooth witherod viburnum develops a dense, rounded growth habit that makes it suitable for mixed shrub borders, native gardens, and wildlife-friendly landscapes.

In May or late spring, depending on climate, Winterthur Viburnum produces clusters of small, creamy white flowers that attract pollinating insects. When compatible cross-pollination occurs, the flowers can develop into ornamental fruits that change color as they mature. The berries typically begin pale green to white, progress through shades of pink, and eventually become blue to blue-black. Different stages of fruit development may appear on the same plant, creating a distinctive multicolored display.

During autumn, the glossy green leaves transition into rich wine-red and burgundy tones, providing additional seasonal interest. Winterthur Viburnum performs well in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, acidic soil with good drainage. It is particularly useful in native landscape designs, woodland edges, rain gardens, and ornamental shrub groupings.

You will receive one live Winterthur Smooth Witherod Viburnum plant in a 2 gallon nursery pot.

Approx. 10 inches tall at time of shipping.

The stated measurement refers to the approximate shipping height of the nursery plant. Actual branching, foliage density, flower bud development, and overall appearance may vary according to nursery growth and seasonal conditions.

Pollination Note: Winterthur Viburnum generally requires a compatible, genetically different Viburnum nudum selection flowering at the same time for reliable berry production. A single plant may flower without producing a substantial fruit display.

Winterthur Viburnum is deciduous and naturally loses its leaves during winter dormancy. Plants may arrive without flowers or berries and may be partially or completely leafless depending on the season.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
