Blackhaw viburnum (Viburnum prunifolium) is a large suckering native shrub that may grow to 15 feet tall and nearly as wide. It provides 3 seasons of interest and is a high-value wildlife plant. The spring flowers are in large white cymes and the fall leaf color is in reds and purples. Berries mature to purplish-black and are eaten by both humans and birds. Viburnums set fruit better with more than one shrub for pollination.

It is a host plant for Spring/Summer Azure butterflies. Its fruits are eaten by songbirds, including Northern Cardinals, Northern Mockingbirds, American Robins, Bluejays, and various sparrows.

Coming in July.
