Plants that are 'good doers' are crucial treasures in our gardens, and this superb viburnum certainly is that – combining many distinct periods of garden interest into one easy-to-grow, hardy shrub. It even looks excellent as a specimen plant in a mixed border or a grassy area of the garden.
Crowned 'Best New Plant' at the 2015 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, 'Kilimanjaro Sunrise' erupts into flower with tiered layers of white lacecap blooms around April and May – inspiring its alternate 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.
Bright red berries soon follow in summer, which help feed birds and other wildlife species, before surprising once again with subtle autumn reflowering. Then, in a final blaze of glory, the leaves turn bright red-purple in autumn before falling as it hibernates in preparation for another year of garden thrills.
Supplied as an established, well-branched plant in a 3L pot, roughly 45cm tall.

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.
