Its low, mounded form makes it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, shaded borders, woodland edges, mixed evergreen beds, and smaller garden spaces where a large viburnum would be too big. The bold, leathery foliage gives the plant a clean, polished look in every season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDistinctive Leaves with Strong Garden Texture.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foliage is one of David Viburnum’s best features. Each oval leaf has a deeply veined, almost architectural appearance, with three strong lengthwise veins that give the shrub a bold texture. The leaves pair beautifully with finer plants such as ferns, carex, liriope, hellebores, heuchera, hostas, and shade-loving perennials. Use David Viburnum where glossy evergreen foliage can brighten part-shade beds and add structure through winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhite Spring Flowers and Ornamental Blue Fruit.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn late spring, David Viburnum produces rounded clusters of small white flowers. When pollination is successful, the flowers can be followed by oval blue to dark blue fruit in late summer and fall. These berries add unusual color and wildlife interest, but fruiting is most reliable when more than one compatible David Viburnum is planted nearby. For the best berry display, plant in groups rather than relying on a single shrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Smart Shrub for Part Shade and Sheltered Sites.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Viburnum performs best in full sun to part shade, with part shade often preferred in hotter climates. It likes moist, acidic, well-drained soil and a protected location away from harsh winter winds. In the right site, it works well as a low evergreen hedge, mass planting, foundation shrub, woodland edge plant, or textural anchor in mixed shrub borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLow Maintenance with Good Moisture and Drainage.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Viburnum is easy to care for once established, especially when planted in soil with consistent moisture and good drainage. Water regularly during establishment, mulch the root zone to keep soil cool, and prune lightly after flowering only as needed. It is generally considered somewhat deer resistant, but browsing can vary by location and pressure. Use protection where deer are a recurring problem.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Goods Direct","offers":[{"title":"2 Gallon Pot","offer_id":44412736765994,"sku":"18749","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0212\/1030\/0480\/files\/david-viburnum-1241247625.jpg?v=1780416932","url":"https:\/\/gardengoodsdirect.com\/products\/viburnum-davidii","provider":"Garden Goods Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
