Viburnum—Viburnum spp.
Plant Identification
Viburnums are part of a large and diverse
group of evergreen and deciduous plants grown as small trees
and shrubs. They are often identified with large fragrant
flower clusters and brilliantly colored fruits. Deciduous
types are generally grown for their flowers and evergreen
types are grown for their lovely foliage. They are useful
as hedges, screens, specimen small trees, or specimen flowering
shrubs.
Optimum conditions for growth
Many viburnums are adapted to a wide range
of climate zones and soil types. They generally tolerate
alkaline and acidic soils. They do best in heavy rich soils
with regular summer water. They look best with some shade
from afternoon sun in hot inland valleys. Prune to prevent
legginess after bloom.
