Walters Viburnum 3g

Description

Walter’s Viburnum (Viburnum obovatum)

Walter’s Viburnum is a versatile, Florida-native shrub or small tree prized for its dense foliage, white spring blooms, and adaptability. It naturally grows upright and can reach 12–20 feet tall if left unpruned, but it can also be maintained as a compact hedge, screen, or even shaped into a small tree.

• Foliage: Small, glossy, evergreen leaves that are deep green and tightly packed, giving the plant a lush, full appearance.

• Flowers: Abundant clusters of tiny white flowers bloom in spring, attracting pollinators like butterflies and bees.

• Fruit: After flowering, it produces red berries that mature to black, offering food for birds and other wildlife.

• Growth Habit: Naturally upright and rounded, but responds well to pruning for formal hedges.

• Landscape Uses: Excellent for privacy screens, foundation plantings, wildlife gardens, or naturalized borders.

• Hardiness: Heat- and drought-tolerant once established, thriving in full sun to partial shade. It adapts to a wide range of soils, including moist or occasionally wet sites.
