Viburnum dentatum var. deamii 'SMVDBL' ALL THAT GLITTERS®

Phonetic Spelling
vy-BUR-num den-TAY-tum DEEM-ee-eye
Description

All That Glitters® Viburnum is a varietal cultivar especially bred to meet the smaller scale of a residential landscape. It must be planted with All That Glows® for pollination to occur for berry production. This viburnum grows 4-6 feet tall, has very glossy leaves and a dense rounded habit. The white flowers appear in clusters in May-June and are followed by blue drupes in the summer to fall that the birds enjoy.

Plant in moist well-drained soils in full sun to partial shade. Use in the pollinator garden, in shrub borders, foundation plantings or small groups.

Insects, Diseases, and Other Plant Problems:  The Clemson Cooperative Extension Home and Garden Information Center has a factsheet on common pests and diseases.
