Discover the charm of Viburnum rafinesquianum, commonly known as Downy Arrowwood or Downy-leaved Arrowwood. This delightful shrub is one of the smallest native Viburnums, reaching a height of 6-10 feet, and makes a beautiful addition to any garden or landscape. Perfectly suited for forest understories and woodland margins, Downy Arrowwood thrives in dry conditions with sun to part shade. It prefers clay loam soil with a touch of rocky material and showcases remarkable drought tolerance once established.

In May, this resilient shrub bursts into a breathtaking display of flat-topped clusters of white blooms, followed by vibrant purple berry-like drupes that are a magnet for wildlife, especially birds. Whether used in shrub borders, foundations, or naturalized woodland areas, Downy Arrowwood offers a stunning visual appeal and ecological benefits. Its versatility allows it to shine in shrub groupings or as an eye-catching understory shrub. Invite nature into your garden with Viburnum rafinesquianum and enjoy the lively ambiance it brings.
