Winterthur Viburnum 1 Live Shrub – 3 Gallon Pot – Viburnum nudum 'Winterthur'

Winterthur Viburnum (Viburnum nudum 'Winterthur'), also known as Winterthur Smooth Witherod Viburnum, is a deciduous ornamental shrub valued for its glossy green foliage, creamy-white spring flowers, colorful berries, and attractive autumn coloration. This selection of the North American native smooth witherod develops a dense, upright-to-rounded growth habit that makes it suitable for mixed shrub borders, woodland gardens, and wildlife-friendly landscapes.

During late spring to early summer, Winterthur Viburnum produces clusters of small, creamy-white flowers that attract pollinating insects. When compatible cross-pollination is available, the flowers may develop into berries that transition through shades of pink and blue before becoming dark blue to nearly black. The colorful fruits provide ornamental interest and may attract birds. In autumn, the glossy foliage typically develops rich shades of red, burgundy, and purple.

Winterthur Viburnum generally performs best in full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. It tolerates a range of soil conditions, including periodically damp locations, and is particularly well suited to native landscapes, rain garden margins, woodland edges, and mixed ornamental plantings.

You will receive one live Winterthur Viburnum shrub in a 3 gallon nursery pot.

Pot Size: 3 Gallons.

Approx. 15–18 inches tall at time of shipping.

Plant Form: Young nursery-grown deciduous shrub.

The plant is supplied as a young shrub rather than a mature flowering or fruiting specimen. Actual branching, foliage density, flower bud development, and overall appearance may vary according to nursery growth and seasonal conditions.

Berry Production Notice: Winterthur Viburnum generally benefits from cross-pollination with a compatible, genetically distinct Viburnum nudum selection that flowers at the same time. A single plant may produce few or no berries without suitable pollination. Flowering and fruiting at the time of shipping are not guaranteed.

Winterthur Viburnum is deciduous and naturally loses its leaves during colder months. Plants may ship dormant, leafless, recently pruned, or without flowers and berries 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.
