European Cranberrybush (Viburnum opulus), also called Guelder Rose, is a deciduous shrub native to Europe, northwestern Africa, and parts of Asia. It carries bright red fruit that remains bitter but has been used for jelly.

The three lobed leaves turn red purple in fall, and broad white flower clusters support pollinating insects in early summer. The shrub grows in varied soils and favours reliable moisture.

How to stratify seed

Warm stage first. Keep the same bag at room temperature for the warm period shown, then move it to the fridge.

In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.

Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
