Planting & Care

A native UK deciduous hedge, also known as the Snowball Tree, celebrated for its large, frothy clusters of white flowers.
Offers year-round interest with fragrant summer blooms, vibrant red autumn berries, and warm red foliage.
Recognised by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators', it's a haven for insects, while its berries are a favourite of bullfinches and mistle thrushes.
A versatile and fully hardy plant, it can be grown as a stunning standalone shrub or as part of a mixed native hedge.
Thrives in a sunny, sheltered spot for the best floral display but is adaptable to partial shade and any well-drained soil.

Species: Viburnum
Features: Native to UK, Winter interest, Wildlife benefactor, Colourful berries & fruits
Flowers: Clusters of fragrant white flowers in summer
Flowering Season: Late spring to summer (June to August)
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Soil: Any well-drained, fertile soil
Hardiness: H6 - Fully hardy in all of UK and northern Europe (-20 to -15°C)
Habit: Grows as an upright, slender shrub
Eventual Spread: 2.5-4m unless pruned
Growth Rate: Average, expecting 20-40cm per year

Planting Time: Plant during the bare root season from October to March.
Spacing: For a dense hedge, plant 5-7 plants per metre in a double staggered row.
Watering: Water well when newly planted and continue to water during dry spells for at least the first year.
Pruning: Prune after flowering in late spring. Remove any dead, diseased, or overcrowded branches. Up to a third of the shrub can be trimmed out yearly if necessary.
Feeding: Feeding is not required as this low-maintenance plant gets its nutrients from the soil.
Pests & Diseases: Has good resistance but may be affected by aphids, viburnum beetle, or leaf spot.
