Viburnum rhytidophyllum, known as Leatherleaf Viburnum, is a vigorous, upright evergreen shrub reaching up to 15 feet. It is prized for its long, leathery, and deeply wrinkled dark green leaves that provide year-round interest. In spring, it produces flat-topped clusters of creamy white flowers, followed by berries that transition from red to glossy black. This versatile plant thrives in well-drained soil and is ideal for privacy screens, hedges, or as a bold specimen in shaded areas.
