Nannyberry 'Viburnum Lentago'

Nannyberry is a native deciduous shrub prized for its ornamental appeal and edible fruit. This hardy variety produces fragrant white flower clusters in spring, followed by dark blue-black berries in late summer that attract wildlife and can be harvested fresh or dried. The foliage turns a striking burgundy-purple in fall, providing season-long interest. Nannyberry thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to various soil types. Mature height reaches 15–20 feet, making it ideal as a specimen plant, natural screen, or wildlife hedge. Low-maintenance once established, it requires minimal pruning and is cold-hardy across most growing zones.
