{"product_id":"brandywine-viburnum","title":"Brandywine™ Viburnum","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Native Viburnum With an Unforgettable Berry Display\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrandywine™ Viburnum is a native deciduous shrub grown for one of the most colorful berry displays you can add to a home landscape. After white spring flowers appear, clusters of berries develop and change through shades of green, pink, vivid blue, and purple-blue as the season progresses. The result is a striking late-summer-to-fall display that looks almost painted against the glossy green foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a shrub for homeowners who want more than a quick spring bloom. Brandywine brings flowers, fruit, fall foliage, and bird appeal in one plant. Use it in mixed borders, native gardens, wildlife plantings, rain gardens, informal hedges, naturalized edges, and foundation beds with enough room for a 5- to 6-foot shrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhite Spring Flowers Followed by Pink and Blue Berries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrandywine Viburnum blooms in spring with clusters of white flowers that add a soft, bright look before the berries begin. The flowers attract pollinators and set the stage for the colorful fruit display that makes this shrub so valuable later in the year. Unlike many flowering shrubs that fade into the background after bloom, Brandywine becomes even more interesting as the season moves forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe berries are the main ornamental feature. As they ripen, multiple colors can appear in the same cluster, creating a mix of pink, blue, and purple-blue tones. Birds are attracted to the fruit, especially later in the season, making this a strong choice for homeowners who want a landscape that feels alive and supports local wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGlossy Foliage and Rich Maroon-Red Fall Color\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrandywine has glossy green leaves through the growing season, giving the shrub a clean, polished look in mixed borders and naturalized plantings. In autumn, the foliage shifts to dark maroon-red, adding another season of color before the leaves drop. This combination of berries and fall foliage makes Brandywine especially useful where late-season interest matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it where you can enjoy the fall display from a patio, porch, walkway, driveway, or kitchen window. The shrub’s upright, rounded habit gives it enough presence to serve as a specimen, but it also looks excellent planted in groups, hedges, or naturalized drifts where the berry display can multiply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUseful in Rain Gardens, Moist Soil, and Native Plantings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrandywine Viburnum prefers moist, well-drained, acidic soil and is especially useful in rain gardens, low areas, pond edges, streamside plantings, and other sites that stay consistently moist without remaining stagnant. It can adapt to average garden soil, but it performs best where moisture is steady and drainage is still adequate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant it in full sun to part sun. More sun generally supports heavier flowering, better berry production, and stronger fall color, while part sun is helpful in hotter regions or exposed sites. Mulch the root zone to conserve moisture, protect shallow roots, and keep the plant more comfortable during summer heat and dry spells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGood Berry Production Without a Pollinator, Better Wildlife Value in Groups\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrandywine is notable because it can produce good berries even without another pollinator nearby. That makes it easier to use than many viburnums, which require a second compatible variety for reliable fruit. Still, planting more than one Viburnum nudum selection nearby, such as Winterthur, can improve cross-pollination and create a stronger wildlife planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf fruit is important, avoid deadheading flowers or pruning off flower clusters after bloom. Brandywine blooms on old wood, and the flowers become the berry clusters later in the season. Prune only as needed and keep pruning light so you preserve the fruit display that makes this shrub worth planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Goods Direct","offers":[{"title":"3 Gallon Pot","offer_id":44566439067690,"sku":"21540","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0212\/1030\/0480\/files\/brandywine-viburnum-1248953969.webp?v=1783973666","url":"https:\/\/gardengoodsdirect.com\/products\/brandywine-viburnum","provider":"Garden Goods Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
