U.S. National Arboretum: Viburnum lantana 'Mohican', a stalwart and dependable shrub for difficult areas. 'Mohican' serves as the backbone of the "background shrub" genre, yet still delights with a mantle of small white flowers in spring and red-orange fruit in midsummer. There is beauty in utility!

 

'Mohican' is a superior seedling selection made by Donald R. Egolf from a population of 87 plants grown from seed obtained fromPoland. The plant first flowered in 1952, was selected as superiorin 1956, and was named and released October 25, 1966.

 

'Mohican' is distinguished from related cultivars of Viburnum lantana by its dense growth habit, heavy dark green foliage, fruit that turns orange-red and remains effective as a display for 4 or more weeks, and resistance to bacterial leaf spot.
