Viburnum - Mohican
The Viburnum 'Mohican', Viburnum lantana 'Mohican', is an incredibly tough shrub that is essentially evergreen in warmer climates. The dark, hairy leaves create a dark background to showcase other plants. It displays a very compact growth habit. The creamy white, flat topped flowers entirely envelop the plant in late April or May, followed by orange-red fruit in early July lasting a month before turning black in fall. The Mohican makes a nice hedge with the compact shape and heavy, dark green foliage. The fall color is attractive. ... more information
Chokeberry - Black It displays clusters of 5-petaled, white flowers in spring which are followed in early autumn by blackish purple, blueberry-sized fruits which usually do not persist into winter. Lustrous, dark green foliage turns an attractive purplish red in autumn. Although technically edible, the fruits are extremely tart and bitter, and are not recommended for eating off the bush. Attractive fall color and fruit give this shrub good ornamental value for a shrub border. Best fruit production occurs in full sun. Spreads by root suckers to form colonies. |
