• Large Periwinkle

  Vinca Vine, also known as Greater Periwinkle or Large Periwinkle, is a larger version of Myrtle but is less cold hardy (to zone 6, or zone 5 with the protection of a mulch or being sited at foundations where the warmth of the building warms the soil in Winter). Flowering occurs heavily in early Spring, and sporadically throughout the remainder of the growing season.
• Lantanaphyllum Viburnum

  Unfortunately, the typical winter appearance of Lantanaphyllum Viburnum in zone 5 is not broadleaf evergreen, nor is it completely deciduous; rather, it is composed of the tattered remains of semi-evergreen and often winterburned foliage, for a very unkempt appearance until Spring.
• Lantanaphyllum Viburnum

  This group planting of Lantanaphyllum Viburnum, sheared as a traffic-control hedge, demonstrates its common usage as a shrub noted for its dense stems and lush foliage.
• Lantanaphyllum Viburnum

  While fruit set is often sparse on Lantanaphyllum Viburnum (like its parents), the half-ripened fruits may be noticed in mid-Summer when they are red. This shrub is primarily grown for the screening effects of its foliage and growth habit.
• Lantanaphyllum Viburnum

  The creamy-white and slightly malodorous inflorescences of Lantanaphyllum Viburnum, flowering in early May, may exhibit brown patches that represent previous frost damage to the expanding floral buds. In spite of their signficant size, the inflorescences of this shrub are not overly ornamental.
• Lantanaphyllum Viburnum

  The oblong leaves of Lantanaphyllum Viburnum are dark green, heavily veined, densely arranged, and semi-evergreen, the latter two features of which enhance the screening function that this shrub commonly performs.
• Lantanaphyllum Viburnum

  Lantanaphyllum Viburnum, a hybrid of <i>Viburnum lantana</i> and <i>Viburnum rhytidophyllum</i> (hence the hybridized common name), is commonly utilized as an upright shrub for screening purposes (sometimes referred to as a utilitarian shrub, since utility boxes are common landscape features that are desirous to be screened). This shrub may also rebloom in late Summer (as shown here) or early Autumn.
• Prague Viburnum

  Prague Viburnum, known primarily for its exceptionally lustrous, dark green evergreen foliage, will often die back to the ground in severe zone 5 winters unless it is sited in a protected microclimate.
• Prague Viburnum

  These inflorescences of Prague Viburnum occurred on basal stems that were below the Winter snow line, where the floral buds and stems were protected during an especially cold zone 5 Winter.
• Prague Viburnum

  The dark green, waxy foliage of Prague Viburnum is perhaps the most attractive of all the Viburnums, being intensely lustrous when lit by sunlight.
• Prague Viburnum

  This short shrub of Prague Viburnum has not been recently transplanted; rather, it is just ending its first season of regrowth after dying back to the roots following an especially cold zone 5 winter.
• Flowers

  Judd Viburnum, one of the most common Viburnums, has fragrant inflorescences in mid-spring, emerging at about the same time as its gray-green foliage (this hybrid is sometimes alternatively spelled <i>Viburnum</i> <font face=\Arial
• Judd Viburnum

  Judd Viburnum, slowly replacing Koreanspice Viburnum in modern landscapes, has fragrant white-pink blossoms in spring that start out as crimson buds.
• Cayuga Viburnum

  Cayuga Viburnum has a distinctly upright growth habit with a vigorous growth rate, becoming leggy with maturity and having a medium-bold texture.
• Cayuga Viburnum

  Cayuga Viburnum has large, fragrant inflorescences with crimson buds, which open consecutively from one side to the other, creating a rimmed effect to the opening inflorescence.
• Cayuga Viburnum

  Cayuga Viburnum is a vigorous hybrid that has dense, very dark green, leathery summer foliage that speaks volumes in terms of selecting plants for their healthy season-long foliage, rather than for ephemeral flowers or other short-lived ornamental attributes. However, Cayuga Viburnum also has wonderfully fragrant inflorescences, being very large and prominently encased in dark crimson buds before they open.
• Cayuga Viburnum

  The dark green, leathery, and shiny foliage of Cayuga Viburnum is among the best of all shrubs, and warrants its consideration for installation based upon this season-long trait.
• Carlcephalum Viburnum

  The huge, rounded, white to shell-pink inflorescences of Carlcephalum Viburnum are tremendously fragrant in early Spring.
• Mohawk Viburnum

  Mohawk Viburnum is a good hybrid that has five outstanding attributes: flowering, in which the red floral buds delay opening to white flowers for awhile, and thus extend the bloom period in early spring; floral fragrance, which is very intense; clean dark green summer foliage, which is resistant to leaf spot and is exceptionally glossy; fall color, which often has appealing hues of yellow, orange, red, and burgandy; and finally compactness, to about seven feet tall and wide if never pruned.
• Burkwood Viburnum

  Burkwood Viburnum, semi-evergreen and a good all-around viburnum, has fragrant inflorescences in spring, but they are relatively small for a viburnum, and when fully open are a dull white with recurved petals.
• Burkwood Viburnum

  The foliage and stems of Burkwood Viburnum mature to a densely pubescent state by early Summer, and may cause itching on the arms if pruned without long sleeves, and sneezing if thrown into a chipper that causes the dispersal of its \dust\. Other viburnums with this same trait include Koreanspice, Judd, Cayuga, Wayfaringtree, Prague, Lantanaphyllum, and Leatherleaf.
• Burkwood Viburnum

  The \winged\ terminal vegetative buds of several Viburnums (including Burkwood Viburnum) can be easily observed in Winter.
• Burkwood Viburnum

  Like many other viburnums, the potential crop of Burkwood Viburnum inflorescences for the following Spring can be accurately estimated by taking inventory of the large, differently-shaped floral buds anytime from mid-Summer through late Winter (a vegetative bud is close by to the lower left).
• Burkwood Viburnum

  Burkwood Viburnum, along with Arrowwood Viburnum, are excellent ornamental shrubs that may also function as semi-sheared hedges.
• Burkwood Viburnum

  The shiny, dark green leaves of Burkwood Viburnum are ovate, on short petioles, and have a long-tapering acute tips. Because of its foliage beauty and relatively thin stems, Burkwood Viburnum is utilized fairly often as a formal or semi-formal hedge.
