{"product_id":"arrowwood-viburnum","title":"Arrowwood Viburnum","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eArrowwood viburnum is what to plant when you want a screen that does not read as a wall of clipped green. It settles in at 6 to 10 feet tall and roughly as wide, hardy through zones 3 to 8, and it takes full sun or a half day of shade without sulking in either. The upright, multi-stemmed frame works as well in a mixed border or a hedgerow as it does in a straight run along a property line. Expect two seasons before it reads as a screen. The first year goes mostly into roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFlat-topped clusters of small creamy white flowers open in late spring and early summer, and by late summer they have become drupes that shift from green through rose to a deep blue-black. That fruit is high in fat and is eaten by cedar waxwings, bluebirds, cardinals, and thrushes, which is why arrowwood shows up so often in habitat plantings. It is also a larval host for the spring azure butterfly and the hummingbird clearwing moth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe leaves are coarsely toothed, which is what \u003cem\u003edentatum\u003c\/em\u003e refers to, and they hold a clean dark green through summer heat. Fall color runs anywhere from clear yellow to wine red to deep purple, and it varies plant to plant, because seedling-grown arrowwood is genetically variable rather than a clone. The common name comes from the young stems, which grow straight and true enough that Indigenous peoples used them for arrow shafts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Beauties Native Plants®","offers":[{"title":"#3 Pot","offer_id":52920887279891,"sku":"1001170","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/8224\/2835\/files\/viburnum_dentatum_spotswood.jpg?v=1786840465","url":"https:\/\/spotswoodgreenery.com\/products\/arrowwood-viburnum","provider":"Spotswood Greenery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
