This attractive shrub produces large, lacy white flower clusters in spring, followed by berries that start green and turn bright red in late summer.

Why You'll Love Red Balloon® Viburnum White Spring Flowers: Large clusters of soft white blooms brighten the landscape in spring. Bright Red Berries: Green berries ripen to a bold red color for eye-catching late-season interest. Multi-Season Beauty: Enjoy flowers, berries, rich foliage, and fall color from one easy-care shrub. Partial Shade Tolerant: Red Balloon® grows well in full sun to partial shade. Deer Resistant: Deer are less likely to browse this shrub than many other landscape plants. Great for Many Uses: Plant it in borders, foundation beds, woodland gardens, hedges, screens, or large containers. Large White Flowers in Spring The season starts with beautiful white flower clusters that spread across the branches in spring. These lacy blooms give Red Balloon® Viburnum a soft, fresh look and make it stand out in mixed garden beds. Bright Red Berries for Late-Summer Color After the flowers fade, green berries begin to form. As summer goes on, the fruit changes to a bright red color. The berries add bold color when many spring-flowering shrubs have already finished blooming. Does Red Balloon® Viburnum Need a Pollinator? Red Balloon® Viburnum can produce some berries on its own, but planting it near a compatible viburnum can lead to a heavier berry crop. For more fruit, consider planting it near 'Mohican' or 'Alleghany' Viburnum. Where to Plant Red Balloon® Viburnum Foundation Plantings: Use it near your home for seasonal flowers, berries, and dense green foliage. Mixed Borders: Pair it with flowering shrubs, evergreens, and perennials for layered color. Woodland Gardens: Its ability to handle some shade makes it useful in natural-style garden areas. Hedges and Screens: Plant several together for a fuller planting that can add privacy and structure. Large Containers: Young plants can be grown in large outdoor pots for patios and outdoor living spaces. Red Balloon® Viburnum Sun and Soil Needs Sunlight: Grow Red Balloon® Viburnum in full sun to partial shade. Good sunlight can help support flowering and berry production. Soil: Plant in well-drained soil. Avoid areas where water stays around the roots for long periods. Watering: Water regularly while the shrub is becoming established. During dry weather, give it deep water to help keep the root zone evenly moist. Thick Foliage Keeps the Landscape Looking Full Red Balloon® has thick, leathery green leaves that give the shrub a polished look through the growing season. This dense foliage helps it work well as a background shrub, foundation plant, or part of a privacy planting. Fall Color Adds Another Season of Interest As the weather cools, the foliage can develop richer fall tones while the red berries remain an eye-catching feature. This helps Red Balloon® Viburnum keep your landscape interesting from spring through fall.
