Viburnum davidii (male)

This male variety of Viburnum is a popular evergreen shrub due to its lovely foliage and showy flowers. Pink flower buds open to reveal showy clusters of white flowers during spring.

The dark green foliage is lush and leathery and provides a great backdrop to the flowers. It typically grows to 2.5 m tall and the same wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best performance with this shrub is achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained site, though it will tolerate dry periods, moderate frost, and cool climates. This Viburnum is commonly included in a mixed planting, used as a backdrop for smaller plants, maintained in a container, included in a cottage garden, or grown anywhere the flowering can be appreciated.

What Makes Viburnum davidii angustifolia Special?

Viburnum davidii angustifolia stands out for its narrow, lance-shaped foliage—an eye-catching variation of the classic Viburnum davidii known for its leathery, dark green leaves. The angustifolia form boasts slightly finer foliage, which creates a softer, more refined look perfectly suited to modern garden designs or as a subtle feature in traditional landscapes.

In spring, this viburnum produces clusters of white flowers, sometimes followed by striking cobalt-blue berries in autumn, provided you plant both male and female varieties near one another for pollination. Its year-round appeal and compact form make it a fantastic selection for hedges, underplanting, or pots.
