Viburnum 'Cree' is a compact, evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub introduced in 1994. It grows slowly to a height of 8 feet and a width of 6-8 feet, forming a dense, multi-stemmed, upright shape. In May, it showcases showy flat-topped cymes of white flowers, which give way to red fruit that matures to nearly black and may persist into winter.
**Viburnum 'Cree'** thrives in full sun to partial shade, with 2-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. It adapts to various soil textures—clay, loam, or sand—provided the soil is acidic (pH <6.0) and well-drained. Maintain consistent soil moisture. It is hardy in USDA Zones 5a through 8b. Ideal for cottage gardens, borders, foundation plantings, and hedges, this shrub attracts pollinators and songbirds and is resistant to deer.
