Description

Combining four distinct periods of garden interest in one easy-to-grow hardy shrub, 'Kilimanjaro Sunrise' looks lovely as a specimen plant in a mixed border or a grassy area.

Awarded the Best New Plant at RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2015, 'Kilimanjaro Sunrise' erupts into flower, with tiered layers of white lacecap blooms in April and May � giving rise to its occasionally used common name of the Wedding Cake Tree. These pretty white flowers age to a lovely blush pink, often with many overlapping tones on the plant at once.

This is followed in summer by bright red berries, which help feed the birds and other wildlife, before it surprises you again with a smaller autumn reflowering. Then, in a final blaze of glory, its leaves turn to fiery bright red-purple in autumn before falling.

Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, ready to plant, growing to a height of 2.5m (8ft) and spread of 1.5m (5ft) after 7-10 years.

Care Information

Planting Advice for Viburnum

Grow viburnum plants in a sunny or semi-shaded position, in any moderately fertile, well-drained soil.
Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the soil.
Plant your viburnum at the same depth as it was planted in its pot.
Backfill the planting hole and water well to settle the soil.

Aftercare Advice

Water regularly throughout the growing season until young plants are fully established.
In spring, apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the plant.
Keep plants well-watered and apply a mulch to prevent the soil from drying out.

Pruning Advice

Viburnum requires little pruning. Any vertical shoots that emerge can be cut back to their point of origin in summer after flowering and any damaged or dead branches can be cut back to a healthy bud after flowering.

Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
