Viburnum X Rhytidophylloides Alleghany Leatherleaf Viburnum

Viburnum X Rhytidophylloides Alleghany Leatherleaf Viburnum is a deciduous shrub with a globose growth habit. Alleghany Leatherleaf Viburnum is endowed with flat umbellate masses of creamy-white blooms in spring. The flowers complement the leathery, wrinkled, ovate-elliptic dark green leaves. Alleghany Leatherleaf Viburnum produces bright red berries in early fall that change to glossy black. Cross-pollination from parents or clones within a hybrid produces the best fruit set. This shrub prefers full sun to partial shade and average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. It is suitable as a specimen or for hedges and screens.
