All That Glitters® viburnum is a cultivar especially bred to meet the smaller scale of a residential landscape. It must be planted with All That Glows® viburnum as a reciprocal pollinizer for berry production. Viburnum Glitters & Glows® is the marketing name given to nursery material in which both All That Glitters® and All That Glows® are planted in the same pot and sold as a single plant. This viburnum grows 4-6 feet tall, has very glossy leaves and a dense rounded habit. The white flowers appear in clusters in May-June and are followed by blue drupes in the summer to fall that the birds enjoy. Plant in moist well-drained soils in full sun to partial shade. Use in the pollinator garden, in shrub borders, foundation plantings or small groups.
