Description
Chicago Luster Viburnum is the most adaptable, versatile and easy-to-grow of any Viburnum we’ve grown…or any other type of shrub for that matter. It is a tough but gorgeous North American Native flowering shrub that will handle heat and extreme cold down to -35F, will grow in full sun to heavy shade, and its lush and lustrous foliage remains nearly perfect with no spotting or scorching during the summer. In spring, it produces abundant clusters of pretty, flat-topped white flowers that are followed by metallic, royal blue berries the songbirds will surely appreciate. A low-maintenance beauty that deserves a spot in every garden where it will grow. USDA Zones: 3a-8b
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to around 10 feet tall and equally as wide at maturity, Chicago Luster Viburnum is ideal for use as an eye-catching specimen shrub or in groupings in landscape and flowering shrub borders. Perfect in sunny or shady shaded woodland borders. A fine addition to white theme gardens, cottage gardens, wildlife gardens, shade and woodland gardens, and the Xeriscape (low water needs).
Suggested Spacing: 7 feet apart for solid hedge; 14 feet or more apart for space between plants.
Cultural Preferences
The Chicago Luster Viburnum is very easy to grow in most any wet or moist but well drained soil of average fertility and full sun to full shade. It prefers a loamy soil rich in organic matter. Deer haven’t touched it in our gardens. Responds well to light pruning after flowering for shaping purposes though doing so might remove berries.
