Moonlit Lace® Viburnum

Moonlit Lace® Viburnum is a compact evergreen flowering shrub bred for heat, humidity, and a well-behaved rounded habit. Pink buds open to white spring flower clusters above glossy green foliage and burgundy-colored stems; the leaves may also develop burgundy tones in cooler weather. At about four feet tall and wide, it fits foundations, low hedges, mixed borders, and grouped plantings without overwhelming the space. Plant it in full sun to part shade and water regularly until established.
