American Highbush Cranberry – Viburnum trilobum Seeds | 100 Seeds | Showy Edible Native Shrub

Plant American Highbush Cranberry (Viburnum trilobum), a hardy North American native shrub prized for its showy white spring flowers, brilliant fall foliage, and bright red edible berries. Though not a true cranberry, the tart fruits resemble cranberries and are commonly used in jams, jellies, and preserves.

In spring, flat-topped clusters of white flowers appear, featuring an outer ring of larger sterile blooms surrounding smaller fertile inner flowers. By autumn, drooping clusters of glossy red berries develop, providing ornamental beauty and valuable food for birds and wildlife. The three-lobed, maple-like leaves turn striking shades of yellow-red to reddish-purple in fall.

This 100-seed pack is perfect for hedges, native plantings, wildlife gardens, woodland margins, and edible landscapes.

You will receive:
✔️ 100 Viburnum trilobum seeds
✔️ Showy flowering and fruiting shrub
