Description
Viburnum rhytidophyllum (Leatherleaf Viburnum) is a broadleaf evergreen shrub valued for its bold, textured foliage and dependable year-round presence. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, this vigorous shrub typically reaches 10–15 feet tall and wide, forming an upright, multi-stemmed habit with arching branches.
Large, leathery, dark green leaves feature deeply impressed veins and a matte surface, creating a coarse, architectural texture in the landscape. In mid to late spring, creamy white flower clusters appear above the foliage, adding seasonal interest. Flowers may be followed by red berries that mature to black in fall, providing subtle ornamental value. Foliage remains evergreen in milder climates, offering structure and screening through winter.
Ideal for hedges, privacy screens, and mass plantings, Viburnum rhytidophyllum delivers bold texture and reliable performance in residential and commercial landscapes.
