The Alleghany viburnum (Viburnum x rhytidophylloides 'Alleghany') is a hybrid shrub with dark green, leathery leaves and fragrant creamy white flowers that bloom in late spring. It produces red berries that mature to black, attracting wildlife. Growing 8-10 feet tall and wide, it thrives in USDA zones 4-8, preferring full sun to partial sun and well-drained soil. This low-maintenance shrub is ideal for hedges, screens, and specimen planting, and requires moderate watering, early spring fertilizing, and post-flowering pruning. It is generally pest-resistant and attracts both birds and pollinators.
