Viburnum plicatum 'Kilimanjaro'

viburnum

• Position: full sun or partial shade
• Soil: moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: average
• Flowering period: May to June
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  Very pretty, lacecap-like flowers appear on the tiered branches of this conical, deciduous shrub in early summer. More upright in habit than the species, it is perfect for the shrub border where space is at a premium. In autumn the leaves will take on good fiery colours before they fall providing another season of interest.
  
  
• Garden care: Keep the pruning of young plants to a minimum. Any vertical shoots that threaten to spoil the distinctive tiered shape of established plants should be cut back to their point of origin in summer after flowering.
