10 Seeds Viburnum rhytidophyllum Leatherleaf Viburnum Evergreen Shrub

Viburnum rhytidophyllum, commonly known as Leatherleaf Viburnum, is a large evergreen shrub valued for its bold, deeply textured foliage and structured form. Its long, leathery, dark green leaves have a distinctive quilted appearance that adds year-round interest to mixed borders, hedgerows, and woodland gardens.
In late spring, flat clusters of creamy white flowers appear, followed by ornamental red berries that mature to black in autumn. This shrub works well as a specimen plant, a dense privacy screen, or a backdrop for perennials. It prefers a sheltered position and well-drained soil.
