Viburnum - Waverly Farm

Viburnum
V
iburnum is believed to be from well over 150 species. A significant few have earned their presence in
horticultural production. Most of the Viburnum grown today are hybrids, selected for flower color and
fragrance, fall color, hardiness and size or shape. In most of their growing range they are almost pest free,
some with deer resistance, which suits them well for the modern low maintenance landscape.
