Rafinesque's Viburnum is a native deciduous shrub that produces clusters of small white flowers in spring followed by dark berries that attract birds and wildlife. It performs best in part shade to full sun with consistently moist, well-drained soil and benefits from a layer of mulch to retain soil moisture. Prune after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage vigorous new growth.
