Viburnum provides showy spring flowers, its shiny green leaves and reddish stems of new growth offer summer color, and the fall berries are deep blue. It readily germinates in the abundant cedar mulch, where the junipers additionally provide needed protection from deer. Very small seedlings can be transplanted, so the difficulties of seed germination have not been a problem. These pictures are from a volunteer at one corner of our cabin.
