Description
Viburnum plicatum ‘Kilimandjaro’ is an award-winning, upright, tiered-form Viburnum prized for its spectacular multi-season display. At 150/175cm in a C10 pot, this semi-mature plant already shows its characteristic layered structure—making it an instant feature for gardens and landscapes.
In spring, the shrub is covered in masses of pure white lacecap-style flowers arranged in horizontal tiers, giving a striking, architectural look. Summer brings clusters of red berries that ripen to black and attract birds. In autumn, the foliage turns brilliant shades of red, orange, and burgundy, ensuring long-lasting seasonal interest.
Compact, elegant, and highly ornamental, ‘Kilimandjaro’ is perfect as a specimen tree, border centrepiece, or focal point in contemporary and traditional gardens. Easy to grow and reliable, it thrives in sun or partial shade with well-drained, fertile soil.
