Re: Viburnum NOW Foundation Plantings

My daughter and her husband have just purchased a new home. I was checking out the sun and existing plantings yesterday as I new there were 'meatballs' around the front porch. Well, the meat balls consist of Nandina, holly (looks like a Burfordi in tiny balls), a sad Viburnum of as yet unknown cultivar (but pruned anyway), Pittisporum, and a murdered Crepe Myrtle. The back yard has a couple of hollies (unknown) in the far corners and nothing else. She has an in-ground pool which really needs landscaping. I can't wait to dust off my shovel and start transforming -- like I don't have enough to do here! :-)

I'll have to look at those, but you guys are WAY more knowledgeable about
the cultivars of Viburnum than I am clearly. I know V. odotisurum, only
because the idiots who built my house used it as foundation shrubs, HELLO?
Needless to say, I moved them and now they make a great 15 foot high
privacy screen. The other I'm most familiar with is V. tinus. So, I'm
learning a lot from this discussion.

Andrea,

I put a picture of  Viburnum plicatum 'Watanabe' in my shrub folder.

There

is also another culitivar called 'Summer Snowflake' that has been in

garden

centers for a few years.
