Viburnum lantana Hedge Plants Description

Viburnum lantana or the Wayfaring Tree as it is commonly known is the perfect ornamental shrub for informal hedging. It offers seasonal interest with white spring flowers that appear in domed clusters in late spring, followed by red berries that ripen to black. The grey-green, deeply toothed leaves turn red in autumn for warm seasonal colour. Viburnum lantana is ideal for including into a mixed native hedge or for relaxed, countryside style boundaries.

As Viburnum lantana produces berries, it is poplular with birds who will also seek shelter in its branches. The small tubular flowers also produce nectar for butterflies - see our entire range of flowering hedges.

This delicious, ornamental shrub is suited to a sunny position but will tolerate shade and drought once established. Choose a well drained but moist site when planting Viburnum lantana. This informal hedging shrub has a medium growth rate, achieving approximately 20-40cm each year and is suited to hedging of up to 5m in height.

For an evergreen Viburnum shrub for hedging, see our range of Viburnum Tinus.

What are root types?

x

Root types explained.

  • Bare root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
