Product Description

Viburnum odoratissimum 'Coppertop' is a striking evergreen shrub admired for its vibrant copper-red new growth that matures to glossy deep green foliage, providing year-round colour and exceptional visual interest. Its naturally dense, upright growth habit makes it an outstanding choice for hedging, screening, feature planting, and modern landscape designs.

Throughout the growing season, fresh copper-coloured foliage continuously emerges, creating a beautiful contrast against the mature green leaves. During spring, clusters of fragrant creamy-white flowers appear, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators while adding seasonal charm to the garden.

Fast-growing, hardy, and easy to maintain, Coppertop Viburnum is ideal for both residential and commercial landscapes. It performs exceptionally well as a privacy hedge, windbreak, or elegant specimen plant, while also thriving in large decorative containers.

Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
