Description

Davidii Viburnum is a prized dwarf evergreen shrub valued for its exceptionally handsome foliage, compact habit, and ornamental berries. Its thick, leathery leaves are deeply veined, creating a bold, textural appearance with a glossy dark green color that may take on bronze hues in winter. A slow-growing, low-spreading plant, it forms a dense, weed-suppressing mound. To enjoy its striking metallic turquoise-blue berries, both a male and female plant are required, making it a fascinating choice for collectors and low-maintenance gardens alike.

  • Architectural Foliage: Features thick, leathery, deeply veined, oval leaves with a glossy dark green surface, providing superb year-round texture.

  • Dwarf, Spreading Groundcover Habit: A slow-growing, low, and wide-spreading shrub perfect as a textural evergreen groundcover or low border, reaching only 2-3 ft tall and 3-4 ft wide.

  • Ornamental Turquoise Berries (with pollinator): Female plants produce stunning clusters of metallic turquoise-blue berries if a male pollinator is planted nearby.

  • Low Maintenance & Shade Tolerant: Thrives with minimal care and performs well in partial to full shade, making it ideal for challenging shady spots.

  • Deer Resistant: The tough foliage is typically avoided by deer.

Faqs

Q: Do I need two plants to get berries?
A: Yes. This species is dioecious, meaning plants are either male or female. To produce the famous blue berries, you must plant both a male and a female plant(e.g., one 'Davidii' and one 'Eve Price', a known male pollinator) in proximity.

Q: How much sun does it need?
A: It is one of the best viburnums for shade. It thrives in partial to full shade and prefers protection from hot afternoon sun, which can scorch its beautiful leaves.
