Viburnum cassinoides-Wild raisin

Description

“Will the real Viburnum cassinoides please stand up?” There is some confusing nomenclature swirling around this species. Sometimes known as Viburnum nudum var. cassinoides or just Viburnum cassinoides. This is the northern occurring species that we have growing here in Maine; you may have seen it growing in moist areas along a sunny road side, or along power line right of ways. It will catch your eye in mid to late spring when a profusion of frothy flowers erupt from the upper most branches.   You can get a nice naturalized look when you plant these in drifts; excellent component for native shrub hedges. This plant is perhaps most noteworthy for the way its fruit changes colors from white to pink to blue. Our most impressive viburnum (hobblebush would contend).
