Viburnum ellipticum (Oval-leaved Viburnum)
A beautiful and hard-to-find native shrub that’s adaptable to many lowland Salish Sea landscapes, you might see this Viburnum species on walks around some of our local oak-prairie habitats.
This is a broadleaf deciduous shrub with glossy-green leaves that contrast with the bright inflorescences of many tiny white flowers 2 to 4 inches across. The flowers become clusters of small berries that turn from red to black, and support some birds and mammals in fall and winter. The foliage is striking in fall, ranging from golden yellow to deep reds and oranges.
This is a highly adaptable shrub, growing well in conditions from full sun to part shade, and various soils. It grows about 4 to 10 ft. tall and wide at maturity, making it super for hedgerows and other screening projects.
This viburnum supports many pollinators: various bees, flies, beetles, and butterflies; it is also the larval host for some butterfly species.
