Plant Features

Discover the magic of space-efficient landscaping with the Lil' Ditty® Witherod Viburnum. A remarkable dwarf cultivar, this gem presents a symphony of fragrant creamy white puffball blooms come late spring. Not just a seasonal spectacle, its lustrous, glossy leaves ensure it stands out, lending an air of sophistication throughout the year. But the spectacle doesn't end with spring. As the seasons transition, watch in awe as clusters of green berries emerge, embarking on a colorful journey from soft pink to fiery red, and finally settling into a deep, enticing black by autumn.

Planting Instructions:

  • - Can be planted anytime the soil temps are 60F

  • - Once established, moderately drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering during dry spells

Additional Pest Management:
