Opinion
"
Viburnums as a group are generally a class act, there are few exceptions to that rule most notably V. lantana, however the opposite end of the scale is this plant. The unusual glossy green foliage and delicate form are not bestowed upon its kin yet give this plant a state of grace in the garden that personifies elegance and the refined tastes of a knowledgeable plant person. If that were not enough it outshines Holly in its ability to produce stunning clusters of brilliantly coloured fruit.
