Viburnum, Cardinal Candy
When a -25 degree cold spell killed all the dilatatum seedlings except one, Indiana's Rod Henneke knew he had something special.
Cardinal Candy® viburnum has improved hardiness compared to other varieties of linden viburnum, so even northern gardeners can finally enjoy the impressive display of bright red berries in fall. Tons of creamy white flowers cover the plant in spring (May in Michigan). The plant itself has a nice, well-branched habit, and fits nicely into the landscape. Berries are not edible by humans.
Blooms on old wood. Blooms in early through late spring. Best if pruned immediately after flowering.
Mature Height: 6’ to 8’
Mature Width: 6’ to 8’
Sunlight: Part sun to Full sun
Soil: Best in moist, slightly acidic soil but does tolerate a wide range of soil.
Hardiness Zone: 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b
