This low maintenance and heat tolerant shrub is perfect for sunny to partially shaded home foundation plantings and landscape borders. An excellent alternative to the disease-prone Otto Luyken Laurel in the hot and humid South. Growing 3 to 4 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide at maturity, Moonlit Lace Viburnum is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces or in groupings or as a natural hedge in larger landscape borders.
Moonlit Lace Viburnum is very easy to grow in most any moist but well drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. As with so many other ornamental plants, it does not like constantly soggy or wet conditions and has good drought tolerance when established. We’ve seen no serious pest or disease problems and deer haven’t touched it in our gardens. For best flowering, at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day is suggested.
