VIBURNUM 'Chesapeake' (V. x carlcephalum 'Cayuga' x V. utile) A small dense semi-evergreen with small dark glossy green leaves. Delightful flowers pink in bud opening white, followed by red fruits, turning black. Not available this season
	VIBURNUM chingii This is an adorable medium shrub. Having smaller leaves gives it a more graceful appearance than the density of most large leaved Viburnum. It is currently flowering as I write (early December) though whether this is typical or yet another oddity caused by the awful weather only time will tell. Typical clusters of tubular Viburnum flowers are pale pink tipped with richer pink. Fragrant when it's warm enough! Sold out
	VIBURNUM 'Chippewa'  This handsome plant was the product of a breeding programme at the US National Arboretum in 1968. Evergreen V. japonicum was crossed with the deciduous, red-fruited V. dilatatum 'Catskill' and ‘Chippewa’ was selected from the resultant seedlings 5 years later. Thus we can enjoy dark green, heavy-textured foliage that takes on fabulous rich red autumn colour late in the season. The huge creamy white flower-heads in May can contain 250-400 florets (no, I haven’t counted them to check) before giving way to a potentially heavy set of glossy red fruits in August. Fruiting will be best with a pollinator (like ‘Huron’) but I grow it for its late autumn colour which extends the season in spectacular manner. Sold out
	VIBURNUM 'Conoy'  Superb recent American selection of more compact habit than its predecessors. Dark glossy green leaves take on a maroon tinge in winter. Dark pink flower buds open to pleasantly fragrant creamy white flowers in April. The glossy red fruit can persist for 6-8 weeks in the autumn. Few larger plants only this year. Sold out
	VIBURNUM erubescens  An unusual species with particularly lovely foliage. The fragrant white flowers in June-July are flushed with pink and are held in panicles, which is unusual for a viburnum. In fact the scent of recent evenings has been almost overwhelming. Sometimes considered to be tender, it seems surprisingly happy in most parts of the country when planted sympathetically. Tuck it amongst other shrubs and don't use it to make a windbreak! Having said that, however, it is thriving here on our exposed stock beds on heavy clay. If it grows here, it will grow anywhere! Recommended. From £19.00 Fantastic specimens also available - please ask for details
	VIBURNUM erubescens var. gracilipes  This tough medium sized shrub is upright in habit. Long, open panicles of fragrant pinky white flowers are freely produced in July. It readily sets fruit which start red and ripen to black. This is so different from the species above that it is hard to believe it could be so closely related - this one is nearer aesthetically to the farreri/grandiflora group. Yet it tallies exactly with the description Mike Dirr gives in his monograph. £19.00
	VIBURNUM 'Eskimo'  A fantastic plant, it is a US National Arboretum Plant Introduction. V. x carlcephalum 'Cayuga' was crossed with V. utile in 1962. 5 years later, a selected seedling was self-pollinated. A further seedling was then selected for evaluation in 1975. It was 1981 before it was released and named "Eskimo". It is semi evergreen, forming a compact rounded shrub of 4-5'. Snowball like flower heads are produced in May, made up of lots of pure white tubular flowers. I had lost patience with this one, but I'm trying again because it does have the potential to look fantastic. Perhaps I was just unlucky! Not available this season.
	VIBURNUM farreri 'December Dwarf' Our stock plant of this recent selection is still young, but it seems to be more upright and less spreading than our plant of 'Nanum', so may actually take up less room. I love to add sprigs of the pinky-white pom-pom flowers to a Christmas table-centre, where its rich fragrance evokes promises of the season to come. 1m. £19.00
	VIBURNUM farreri 'Farrer's Pink'  A fantastic form; the deep pink buds open to pinker flowers than the species, from late autumn all through the winter. Sweetly scented. Upright growing into a large shrub. £19.00
	VIBURNUM farreri 'Nanum'  If your garden is too small for the other viburnums, then this is the one for you with its dense mounded habit! The flowers are pink in bud opening white and deliciously scented. They start in November and continue all winter. They pick well too. £19.00
	VIBURNUM grandiflorum  Related to V. farreri and resembling it in habit, this is a handsome large shrub. The fragrant flowers are larger, and are pinkish in bud, opening to almost pure white. A lovely addition to this wonderful winter flowering group. Sold out
	VIBURNUM grandiflora f. foetens There are botanical details distinguishing this forms from the species of course, but for me the most marked aesthetic difference is the fact that the flowers are almost pure white and held in a laxer panicle. Sold out
	VIBURNUM henryi Another addition in our quest for worthy evergreens. It was introduced from China by the famous Victorian plant hunter E.H.Wilson in 1901. Upright in habit, it has glossy green, leathery leaves. The white flowers are fragrant and are held in pyramidal panicles in June, followed by red berries which ripen to black. Sold out
	VIBURNUM x hillieri 'Winton' (V. erubescens x V. henryi) V. erubescens is one of my favourite viburnum, so it seemed natural to add this hybrid from it to our collection. A medium sized semi-evergreen, it will keep most of its leaves most of the winter, weather and location permitting. The attractive foliage is copper tinted when young and again through winter. Panicles of creamy- white flowers are profusely borne in June, followed by red berries which ripen to black. Another case of the longer I grow it, the more I like it! Sold out
	VIBURNUM ichangense  This compact plant has tiny leaves and clusters of pale pinky-white flowers in May-June. Best in a sunny well-drained site. Think of it as an altogether smaller and more refined variant of V. plicatum and you will start to understand its attraction. Delightful.  £19.00
	VIBURNUM juddii  (V. bitchiuense x V. carlesii) Smaller and denser in habit than V. carlesii, freely producing clusters of sweetly scented, pink-tinted flowers during April and May. Not available this season
	VIBURNUM lantana 'Variefolium'  The grey-green leaves are tinged orange-pink when they open, becoming conspicuously mottled creamy-white, which creates a very interesting autumn colour. Although technically deciduous, now in mid January they still have most of their leaves. I have been pleasantly surprised by how attractive this plant actually is. Not available this season
