Viburnum plic. Kilimandjaro

Viburnum plic. Kilimandjaro is a deciduous viburnum with distinctive, tiered branching and flat-topped white lacecap flowers in late spring, making a striking specimen or addition to mixed shrub borders. For reliable performance in Ireland, plant in full sun or light shade in moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil; it prefers neutral to acidic conditions and is best kept away from very alkaline (chalky) sites. Fully hardy, with an even, steady growth habit and fresh green foliage through the season.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
