Viburnum cylindricum ‘Roy Lancaster’

Description

Shared with us by Portlands Virginia Israelit, Roy Lancaster’s selection of this Asian shrub is evergreen with, 6-10″, leaves, long enough to appear drooping and waxy enough to write ones name in the blue, glaucous leaf surface. Cymes of small, white, sweetly scented flowers begin in June and continue, occasionally producing small, black fruit. Multi stemmed with a rounded form, these are typically 8-10 ft tall and wide in the garden though old, unpruned specimens can reach 15 ft tall. Best in sun to part shade in hottest areas with regular summer water. Frost hardy to 0F perhaps lower, USDA zone 7.

Caprifoliaceae / Adoxaceae
