Viburnum utile 'Eskimo'

Eskimo Service Viburnum

Eskimo viburnum makes a compact, dense shrub with rounded clusters of white flowers. It is especially useful where a smaller snowball-flowering viburnum is needed, although its fruit display is generally limited.

The plant develops dense branching. Growth is moderate. Leaf retention varies with winter conditions. Autumn foliage can bring yellow, orange and red tones.

Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide acidic, well-drained soil.
