10 Seeds Viburnum macrophyllum Evergreen Shrub Ornamental Garden Plant
Viburnum macrophyllum, commonly known as the large-leaved viburnum, is an evergreen shrub valued for its bold, broad foliage and upright, rounded habit. Its generous leaves and dense form make it a strong structural accent for mixed borders, hedges, and container plantings in mild climates.
This shrub is grown primarily for its ornamental foliage and form, where it creates a lush backdrop through the year. It can be used as a specimen plant, a screen, or a filler in shaded to partly sunny garden spots with well-drained soil. Growth is generally steady once established, and light shaping helps maintain a full, tidy shape.
