About this plant
The 'Moonlit Lace' Viburnum is a distinguished deciduous shrub prized for its exceptional ornamental qualities throughout the year. Its deeply lobed, maple-like leaves emerge in spring with an intriguing bronze-purple hue, maturing to a rich green and then transforming into striking shades of red and purple in autumn, ensuring a vibrant display. In late spring, clusters of delicate, fragrant white flowers emerge, attracting pollinators and adding a touch of classic charm. These blossoms give way to small, persistent red berries that provide a food source for birds and extend the plant's ornamental appeal into the winter months. Beyond its beauty, 'Moonlit Lace' is a robust and adaptable shrub, tolerating a range of conditions and offering excellent disease resistance. Its moderate size and attractive, upright-to-spreading habit make it a versatile choice for foundation plantings, mixed borders, or as a specimen plant.
Care & maintenance
Easy to care for, 'Moonlit Lace' Viburnum thrives with minimal attention once established. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and size, or to remove any dead or crossing branches. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer if desired, though often not necessary in rich soil.
