Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum ‘Dart’s Red Robin’ is a spreading, tiered shrub that has large white lacecap flowers in spring and early summer. These are followed by abundant red berries and colourful foliage in autumn. It makes a good specimen shrub in a mixed border and also works well in Japanese garden schemes.
Grow Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum ‘Dart’s Red Robin’ in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Mulch annually with well-rotted manure or compost, and remove vertical shoots to retain the shape of the shrub, after flowering.
Grows to around 3m over 5 years but can be kept to any desired height by pruning to shape in Winter.
Grown in a 2 litre pot ready for planting
A fantastic broad spreading cultivar. When young it forms a beautiful upright growing clump, but in a few years it will begin to grow upright, forming an interesting lightly weeping shape. Profuse flowering with white-tinged pink flowers borne in umbrella-shaped inflorescences, giving way to an equally impressive display of deep red fruits in the fall, and can often be seen flowering and having berries simultaneously
