Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Mohican' is a selection of wayfaringtree viburnum chosen for its slightly more compact habit, and though listed as growing only 9 or so feet, I have seen it as tall as 10 to 12 feet. It is, however, narrower than the species and more slow to sucker, probably getting 6 to 8 feet wide. All other attributes are present: large, soft grey green leaves, purplish fall color, white spring flowers, persistent red fruit. An outstanding shrub for the foundation, a hedge or screen, mass planting, mingles with larger ornamental grasses, formal to more organic settings.
