Landscape Design Shrubs

Outstanding fall color from Mini Man Viburnum

last year

Have any of you grown a mini man dwarf viburnum--grows 4 to 6 feet tall and wide? Mine is six years old and has reached 4.5 feet tall by 3 feet wide. My mini man has really outdone itself this year with fall foliage—maroon leaves with hints of green plus creamy white leaf buds that stick up like Christmas candles. Its coloration resembles a poinsettia. It's a stunner.

Deb, thanks for sharing this. I have a number of different viburnums, but I've never heard about this one before. It's a charming shrub and good for cold zones. I'll have to see if I can find a spot for one somewhere!

You're welcome, Nancy. I looked around for a long time for a viburnum that would fit into my limited garden space. This one works nicely. When I bought it 6 years ago, the literature indicated that it needed a lot of moisture. I've found that this isn't necessarily the case.
