American Highbush Cranberry – Viburnum trilobum Seeds | 200 Seeds | Showy Edible Native Shrub

Grow American Highbush Cranberry (Viburnum trilobum), a hardy and adaptable native shrub known for its showy spring flowers, vibrant fall color, and bright red edible berries. Despite its name, it is not a true cranberry, but its tart fruits resemble cranberries and are widely used for jams and jellies.

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

This 200-seed pack is ideal for hedges, shrub borders, wildlife plantings, woodland gardens, and edible landscapes.
