Viburnum Emerald Lustre

  • Facebook
  • Pinterest

A cultivar, Viburnum Odoratissimum ‘Emerald Lustre’ is reasonably vigorous Viburnum variety that will quickly grow to form a dense evergreen shrub to small tree.

Attractive foliage, a coppery red when new glossy and thick, turning to a bright green and then darkening with age. Excellent as a hedging plant with low branching almost to ground level. Reaching a height of 4-5m with a similar spread it can be pruned to shape and does cope with hard pruning if required.

Small white perfumed flowers in spring to summer, followed by dark red berries. This is a viburnum that grows well in warmer climates. Used as a hedge, filler in the back of the border or as a low windbreak, Emerald Lustre can be frost tender but has few other problems.

Growth rate in moderate to fast. Potted specimens supplied at .75 to 1m in height should reach 2 meters in two years provided good soil, fertiliser and moisture.

Landscaping Uses

Use as a hedging plant or as a background plant in the garden border.

Spacing for a dense hedge should be at 1.2 to 1.5 meters apart. For a more informal hedging look, up to 3m apart.

Best pruned twice a year to maintain shape and promote a good bushy habit. Can be pruned immediately after flowering, and again at any time when in active growth. Avoid pruning during very hot weather.
