Description

When we first saw this plant, and its super-shiny leaves, we almost thought it wasn’t real! Aptly named, the Shiny Dancer produces some of if not the shiniest leaves we’ve ever seen on a Viburnum, or any other real plant for that matter. The leaves are uniquely corrugated, with new spring growth emerging reddish bronze turning to dark green. Fall brings rich burgundy-red shades. Abundant, pretty clusters of creamy white flowers are displayed all over what is an extraordinal compact mound, which makes Shiny Dancer a perfect fit for smaller garden spaces.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and a little wider, Shiny Dancer Viburnum is ideal for use as an accent in home foundation plantings and landscape and flowering shrub borders. Also nice in groupings or as a colorful hedge in large landscape borders. A fine addition to white theme gardens, cottage gardens and Viburnum gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 4 feet apart for solid hedges; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Viburnum variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Shiny Dancer Viburnum is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. As with so many other ornamental shrubs, constantly soggy or wet soil can cause problems with the roots. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day for best flowering and foliage density. Responds very well to a light pruning for shaping purposes, but since it blooms on o0lod wood wait to prune until immediately after flowering.
