Description
Winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society, Viburnum opulus ‘Compactum’ is a dwarf version of the European Cranberry Bush, also known as Guelder Rose. It is a beautiful easy-to-grow flowering shrub with pretty flowers, berries and foliage that can handle temperatures down to -40F. Abundant, butterfly-attracting, lacecap flower clusters consisting of pretty buttery soft-yellow florets surrounded by larger pure-white florets contrast beautifully with the apple-green, 3-lobed, maple-like leaves that turn to colorful red and purple shades in fall. The flowers are followed by abundant showy clusters of cranberry-like lustrous red berries that the birds will thank you for. At only 4 to 6 feet tall and wide the Dwarf European Cranberry Bush is a spectacular landscape specimen in smaller garden spaces or grouped or as a natural hedge where space allows. Very easy to grow and extremely cold hardy to -40F.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 4 to 6 feet tall and equally as wide, the Dwarf European Cranberry Bush is ideal for use as a specimen in smaller garden spaces and flowering shrub borders or in groupings or as an attractive natural hedge in larger landscape borders. Also a fine accent or espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plants and around patios, decks, porches and other outdoor living spaces. A fine addition to Viburnum gardens, butterfly gardens, bird gardens, cut flower gardens, white theme gardens and cottage gardens.
Growing Preferences
Viburnum is very easy to grow in most any moist but well drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. It prefers a loamy soil. As with so many other ornamental plants, it does not like constantly soggy or wet conditions though will tolerate occasional wet or dry periods when established. We’ve seen no serious pest or disease problems provided the plant gets morning sun. Deer haven’t touched it in our gardens. For best flowering, at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day is suggested. Responds very well to pruning. Prune as needed immediately after flowering.
