Viburnum Odoratissimum Emerald Jewel

Living up to its name this Viburnum is lustrous dark green with jewel-like leathery foliage.

This evergreen is best used for screening. It produces pretty little white tubular flowers in Spring followed by bird-friendly red berries. If you like wildlife this is popular with pollinators and birds.

Viburnum Emerald Jewel has an upright habit and is happy to be hedged. It makes a great specimen in a pot on the deck where it breaks up the bleakness of patio slabs.

If you’re looking for a hardy, low-maintenance flowering evergreen for the garden this is a good bet. It rarely lets you down and requires minimal care for maximum effect.

Quick Facts

• What to use me for: I make a sheltering hedge or screen for humans and wildlife with a pow of green. I’m also up for some topiary if you fancy it?

• I grow to:  I get big if I’m left unchecked. My maximum height is 3-4 metres and my width up to 2m. 

• I am currently: 20cm

• Where to place me: I grow well in full sun and part shade. I’ll tolerate light frosts and some winds too. 

• How far to space me:  For a thick screen I should have 1-1.5m spacing.

• Soil conditions: I like well-drained fertile soil, but I’m not too fussy about it. Feed me in Spring with a slow-release fertiliser and put some thick mulch around my roots. I’ll establish quickly.
