A stunning addition to a wildlife garden, the Red Feather Arrowwood Viburnum is a magnet for native pollinators and birds. A cultivar of the species Viburnum dentatum, this shrub is a multi-season showstopper. In spring, two-toned maroon and green foliage emerges. Flattened heads of white flowers appear in June and develop into purple berries in late summer. The growing season ends with stunning fall color as the leaves become a brilliant scarlet red.
Red Feather is a reliable, hardy, and low-maintenance shrub choice for many sites. It is a variety of a shrub that is native to North America and requires at least two specimens of Viburnum dentatum to ensure fruit develops. Groups of this viburnum make for an outstanding hedge. It is also an excellent choice for a specimen plant surrounded by smaller perennials.
Red Feather Arrowwood Viburnum Care
Position this viburnum in full to part sun. It can thrive in many types of soil and in a range of soil pH, but prefers a site with good drainage and ample organic matter. The Red Feather Arrowwood Viburnum will perform best in average-to-moist soil. Water the shrub regularly during the period of establishment and then deeply during extended periods of drought, as this plant prefers to not dry out. Viburnums are not particularly heavy feeders, but can benefit from an annual application of a slow-release, tree-and-shrub fertilizer in the spring.
The best time to prune this shrub is in spring following the flush of new growth and blooming. Thin out any unsightly, old, or rubbing branches and cut back up to one-third of the plant to maintain a tidy shape.
Red Feather Arrowwood Viburnum Spacing
This viburnum reaches a height of 8 to 10 feet with a similar spread once mature. Space multiple plants 8 to 10 feet apart for a hedge or provide more space for this shrub to use it as a specimen.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
