Viburnum lantana 'Mohican' 3/2022 Viburnum F4- (wayfaringtree) Wayfaringtree Viburnum, Mature plant size: 8x10, WHITE, small white flowers, then red drupes, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Month 5c, In Garden Bed F4 for 16.9 YEARS (Lowes). Planted in 2005.

Missouri Botanical Garden: Viburnum lantana, commonly known as wayfaringtree viburnum, is native to Europe, western Asia and North Africa. It has naturalized in the northeastern U.S. It is a deciduous, multi-stemmed shrub that typically grows to 10-15' tall and as wide. Mature shrubs grow large and somewhat coarse. Thick, leathery, rough-textured, finely-toothed, ovate, dark green leaves (to 2-5" long) have rounded to cordate bases. Leaves turn dark green with some purplish-red tones in fall. Quality of fall color often varies from year to year. Small white flowers in flat-topped clusters (cymes to 3-5" diameter) bloom in spring (May in St. Louis). Flowers give way in July to red, berry-like drupes which hold their showy color for about one month before turning black. Fruit set can be disappointing in some years. Although in its native habitat this shrub is somewhat common along waysides, the origin/meaning of the common name of wayfaringtree is unclear. V. lantana is one of the parents of V. rhytidophylloides.
