Description

An oldie-but-goodie introduced in 1904 by E.H. Wilson, the David Viburnum has stood the test of time for very good reasons: gorgeous foliage, pretty flowers and colorful berries. A slow grower, it forms a compact mound to maybe 4 feet tall and wide clothed in some of the most attractive foliage of any evergreen shrub. The thick, leathery, elliptic-oval leaves up to 6 inches long are dark blue-green and deeply veined. In mid spring, abundant clusters of pinkish buds open to pretty white flowers that contrast beautifully with the dark foliage. Flowers can be followed by tubular shaped bright blue berries like no other viburnum on female plants. Butterflies enjoy the flowers and birds love the berries. In fall the foliage takes on an attractive burgundy tone that turns back to dark green when temperatures warm in spring, at which time new leaves emerge a burgundy color. Very low maintenance, we’ve seen no pest or disease problems and deer haven’t shown an interest in our gardens. In hot-summer climates it will appreciate some filtered sun or shade during the afternoon hours. An excellent shrub for home foundation plantings and sunny to partially shaded landscape borders.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 3 to 4.5 feet tall and equally as wide, David Viburnum is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces or in groupings or as a low hedge in sunny to partially shaded home foundation plantings and landscape borders. Also nice in containers. A fine addition to tropical-look gardens, white theme gardens, Viburnum gardens and bird gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 2.5 to 3 feet apart for solid hedges; 6 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

The David Viburnum is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. As with so many other ornamental shrubs, constantly soggy or wet soil can cause problems with the roots. We suggest at least 4 hours of direct sunlight per day for best flowering and foliage density. Responds very well to pruning for shaping and size control. Prune as needed immediately after flowering.
