Viburnum Suspensum

Viburnum Suspensum is a compact evergreen shrub prized for its dense branching habit and refined appearance. Its small, glossy green leaves create a lush, uniform look throughout the year, making it a dependable choice for low hedges and structured plantings. In spring, clusters of creamy white flowers emerge, offering a subtle fragrance and attracting beneficial pollinators.

This slow to moderate growing viburnum maintains a naturally tidy form, reducing the need for frequent pruning. Viburnum Suspensum performs well in warm climates and is commonly used in residential and commercial landscapes where a clean, formal look is desired. It adapts easily to a variety of landscape designs, serving equally well as a foundation shrub, border plant, or mass planting. Its evergreen foliage provides consistent color and texture, adding year-round interest with minimal maintenance.
