Viburnum davidii - 60-90cm, 10lt

Viburnum davidii is a compact, low-growing, mounded evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub with leathery, deeply-veined, oval, glossy, dark green leaves, acquiring burgundy tones in winter. Small, white flowers in rounded clusters bloom in spring and are followed by attractive, round, berry-like fruits that change their colour from green to pink to metallic turquoise when ripe. Only female plants produce fruit. Viburnum davidii grows best in average, consistently moist, well-drained soils in full sun or partial shade. In hot summer climates, it appreciates some afternoon shade. It’s an evergreen plant but tends to be semi-evergreen or deciduous in colder climates. Male and female plants are separate and female plants need male pollinators to bear fruit. Generally, pest-free and disease-free. Low maintenance plant, doesn’t require pruning. Viburnum davidii is a wonderful, exotic-looking shrub, perfect for informal hedges, foundation plantings, shrub borders or wall-side borders. Excellent as a ground cover. Suitable for informal and cottage gardens, as well as woodland areas.
