Viburnum 'Eskimo' Patio Tree

Viburnum 'Eskimo' Patio TreeTrained into an elegant standard tree, the Viburnum 'Eskimo' is a perfect eye catcher, providing year round structure for any garden space. Its compact, rounded head of handsome, dark green foliage is semi evergreen, meaning it often holds its leaves through milder winters. Its true moment of glory is in late spring when it produces a wealth of large, snowball like flower heads. These emerge from pink tinged buds and open into fragrant, pure white

Trained into an elegant standard tree, the Viburnum 'Eskimo' is a perfect eye-catcher, providing year-round structure for any garden space. Its compact, rounded head of handsome, dark green foliage is semi-evergreen, meaning it often holds its leaves through milder winters. Its true moment of glory is in late spring when it produces a wealth of large, snowball-like flower heads. These emerge from pink-tinged buds and open into fragrant, pure white globes, creating a spectacular display that is highly attractive to spring pollinators like bees.

You can enhance your Viburnum 'Eskimo' patio tree by planting companions around its base, creating a fuller, multi-level arrangement in your container. The key to success is selecting partners that thrive in the same conditions: a spot in either full sun or partial shade, with a fertile, moist but well-drained soil. This Viburnum dislikes drying out, so its companions must also appreciate consistent watering during the growing season. For a beautiful foliage combination, consider a Hosta with variegated leaves, such as 'Patriot' or 'Francee'. Their bold, patterned leaves will contrast beautifully with the Viburnum's simpler dark green foliage and will thrive in the cool, moist conditions at the base of the pot.
