Viburnum lentago, commonly known as Nannyberry, is a versatile deciduous shrub valued for its ornamental appeal and wildlife benefits. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 2 through 8, reaching a mature height of 15 to 20 feet. This species prefers full sun to partial shade, adapting well to various soil types as long as they are well-drained.
