About this plant
Viburnum davidii, or David Viburnum, is a distinguished evergreen shrub prized for its robust leathery green foliage and architectural form. Its deeply veined leaves provide an elegant backdrop in any garden, maintaining their rich color through every season. In spring, clusters of delicate white flowers emerge, followed by striking metallic blue berries in late summer and fall. These berries offer a beautiful contrast against the dark leaves and provide a valuable food source for local wildlife. Ideal for foundational plantings, massing, or as a low hedge, David Viburnum brings a touch of refined elegance and consistent beauty to your landscape design.
Care & maintenance
Easily maintained, Viburnum davidii thrives with minimal pruning to maintain its shape. Fertilize in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. Protect from harsh winter winds in colder zones.
