Viburnum

Hi Guys,

I have 2 questions about a Viburnum

1) I am looking for the name of the one with dark leaves, purple berries and white flowers - looked on the BBC and there are sooo many - anyone know the name of this one?

2) Do they do ok in pots or do they really need to be planted?

Thanks in advance!

J, could it be Viburnum Davidii? And yes, it would do okay in a pot.:thumb:

 

I planted a small one in the ground three years ago and it has spread in width more than height, 1metre wide 1/2 metre high. They would need to be kept well watered in a pot in summer and not dry out completely in winter.

 

Agree with that, Strongy, and the same applies to all shrubs and trees in containers. They should also be fed regularly during spring and summer.:thumb::D

 

yes - thats it - lovely! And have just found somewhere on the internet where I can get it - woo hoo! I'm quite good with watering my plants (and I use the water crystals too). Only 3 weeks in the summer hols where mr trouble has to water them and they suffer a little - sigh!

Thansk for the help!!

 

You are more than welcome.:thumb::D
