The Walter’s Viburnum Withla (Viburnum obovatum ‘Withlacoochee’) is a stunning selection known for its attractive foliage and adaptability. Unlike other Walter’s Viburnums, the this variety boasts dense, dark green leaves that hold their color well throughout the year. This sets it apart, as many Viburnums become somewhat bare in winter. Reaching a mature height of 10-12 feet with a 6-10 foot spread, it forms a rounded shape and maintains a naturally full appearance. This low-maintenance shrub doesn’t require frequent pruning to stay neat, making it a great choice for busy gardeners. Beyond its evergreen appeal, the Walter’s Viburnum puts on a delightful floral display in late winter or early spring. Clusters of fragrant white blooms erupt on the branches, adding a touch of elegance to the landscape. These blooms not only enhance your garden’s beauty but also attract butterflies and other pollinators. After the flowers fade, the shrub produces small red fruits that mature to black. These berries provide a valuable food source for birds and other wildlife, making the Walter’s Viburnum a haven for local fauna. Thriving in the southeastern United States, the Walter’s Viburnum Withla is a versatile addition to your landscape. It tolerates a range of soil types, from sandy to loamy to clay, as long as they are well-drained. It also adapts to different light conditions, doing well in full sun to partial shade. This adaptability, combined with its low maintenance needs and ecological benefits, makes the Walter’s Viburnum a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscapes.
