Και σαν γνήσιο Βιβούρνο αναπτύσσει υπέροχα, λευκά, αρωματικά άνθη.

Old garden favourite Photinia ‘Red Robin’ has some hot competition from an unexpected candidate!
The vibrant reddish new growth of Viburnum Coppertop is its defining factor, and when you trim, it just keeps on coming!
Of course, the botanical buffs amongst you will know the name ‘odoratissimum’ means odour, i.e. fragrance.
And, yes it has the very best, sweet fragrance. A spring garden or patio will be enhanced by the confetti blooms of Coppertop, and the interest will continue way beyond those spring months, too.
It’s an incredibly malleable plant, and can be trained as a hedge, shaped into a column, or simply allowed to plug a gap in an established border!
All this wonderful shrubs needs is a good, well-drained soil and a position in sun or shade, i.e. almost anywhere in the garden. It can also be grown in containers of soil-based potting mix, perhaps underplanted with spring bulbs.
Its impossible to get the pruning wrong too. Light trims and shaping is all it needs, and any haircut will encourage sparkly new red foliage anyway!
Key Points
- Bronze new shoots
- Glossy foliage
- Bushy, well branching, compact
- White, fragrant flower clusters
- Low maintenance, easy to prune
History
Plant Developer, Kip McConnell, is always on the lookout for new, different and unusual plants and travels the breadth of America to find them! On one of his plant hunting trips, he called in at PJ Klinger in Florida, where the third generation still owns and operates Brantley Nursery. Viburnum odoratissimum is a widely used plant in commercial and residential landscapes around the USA and especially Florida, so it was a plant PJ had been working with previously.
When you grow so many of a plant, you get to know it well, and you can spot differences and changes a mile off. And, the plant that went on to be known as Coppertop was no exception. Like a beacon, the vibrant bronze tips of the shoots stood out from all the others, and it had a smaller leaf and more compact habit to boot!
All of these attributes made Coppertop significantly different from other Viburnum odoratissimum in the market, and also placed it firmly into the landscape and retail market. This was a new, durable shrub that anyone could grow. Photinia ‘Red Robin’ better watch out!
