Densa Viburnum: Add Year-Round Beauty to Your Garden

Densa Viburnum not only stays green all year, but it also transforms throughout the seasons. Spring brings delicate white flowers that beckon buzzing bees, then summer sees a shift to bright red berries. These berries then morph into a beautiful display of purples and blacks in fall, attracting beautiful songbirds. This easy-to-maintain shrub offers more than just color – it creates a haven for life in your own backyard.

• Evergreen shrub with year-round beauty
• Vibrant white flowers attract pollinators in spring
• Berries change color, feeding songbirds throughout summer and fall
• Low-maintenance, thrives in sun or partial shade
• Grows to 4-6 feet, perfect for smaller gardens or hedges

In early spring, new leaves emerge a soft, lime green, their surface glossy and smooth to the touch. As the season progresses, the vibrant lime mellows to a richer, emerald green, the sheen intensifying as the leaves mature.

Then Densa Viburnum then explodes with dazzling white flowers, transforming bare branches into a canvas of delicate beauty. Each blossom boasts five rounded petals, crafted from a material akin to soft crepe paper. Run your fingers along their surface and you’ll feel a slight pebbling, like the texture of fine rice paper.

These cloud-like clusters, resemble a soft snowfall blanketing the shrub in a cool, pristine white. As you move in for a closer look, you might notice a subtle sheen on the petals, like a dusting of fairy dust catching the morning sun. The center of each bloom is a burst of sunshine yellow, a cluster of tiny stamens that stand out vibrantly against the cool white.

These blooms reach peak perfection in mid-spring, holding their color for several weeks before giving way to the next act of the Densas presentation. As the petals age, they may take on a hint of the palest ivory, adding a touch of vintage charm before gently falling away, leaving behind the promise of summer’s berry bounty.

Throughout summer, the lush green blanket remains the focal point, offering a cool contrast to the emerging flower clusters. Come fall, the foliage takes center stage once more. Subtle hints of burgundy begin to emerge along the leaf edges, slowly spreading inwards.

As the days shorten, the vibrant green surrenders to a mesmerizing blend of burgundy and deep emerald, the glossy texture persisting until winter’s grasp takes hold. Even in the coldest months, the Densa Viburnum’s foliage clings on, offering a touch of evergreen vibrancy against the stark winter landscape.

How to Plant Densa Viburnum

Choose the Right Spot

Densa Viburnums are adaptable to both full sun and partial shade. Aim for at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal flowering and growth. They’ll tolerate some afternoon shade as well. Well-drained soil is crucial. If your native soil is heavy clay, amend it with sand or compost to improve drainage before planting.

Measure the Space

Densa Viburnums mature at a height of 4-6 feet and a width of 5-6 feet. This compact size makes them ideal for smaller gardens or planting as a hedge. When planting multiples for a hedge effect, space them 6-8 feet apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

Dig the Hole

Dig a hole 1.5 times wider than the root ball of your Densa Viburnum and just as deep. Loosening the soil at the bottom of the hole encourages healthy root development.

Plant It

Gently remove your Densa Viburnum from its container and loosen any circling roots. Position the plant in the hole so the crown (where the roots meet the stem) sits at ground level. Backfill the hole with soil, tamping it down gently to eliminate air pockets and secure the plant.

Water Thoroughly

Give your newly planted Densa Viburnum a deep watering to settle the soil around the roots. Aim to soak the soil thoroughly, allowing any excess water to drain away.

Mulch and Care

Apply a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch around the base of the shrub, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk to prevent rot. Replenish the mulch annually to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

Established Densa Viburnums are drought-tolerant, but enjoy a deep drink during dry spells. Water deeply once a week, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
