Viburnum, Mrs. Schillers

Scientific Name: Viburnum obovatum

Mrs. Schillers Viburnum is a Florida native species known for its resilience and adaptability to local conditions. This evergreen shrub features glossy, dark green leaves that provide year-round interest and texture.

One of the notable characteristics of Mrs. Schillers Viburnum is its fragrant white flowers that bloom in spring, attracting pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and is a host for the Azure butterfly (Celastrina ladon) . Following the flowering season, the plant produces small, red berries that can add visual appeal and serve as a food source for birds and local wildlife.

This variety is particularly valued for its slow, compact growth habit, making it suitable for smaller spaces and container gardens or as a foundation planting, low hedge, or mass planting. With a mature height of approximately 2 to 5 feet and a similar spread, it can be easily integrated into various garden designs.

Mrs. Schillers Viburnum thrives in well-drained acidic soils and can tolerate a range of light conditions, from full sun to partial shade. Its drought tolerance once established makes it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners looking to enhance their landscape with native flora.

Florida natives require NO fertilizer, less water, and promotes biodiversity of our natural heritage!
