Summary

Viburnum ×juddii, commonly known as Judd Viburnum, is a deciduous hybrid shrub of garden origin, likely involving Viburnum carlesii as one of the parents. It exhibits a moderate growth rate, reaching a height of 6-8 feet (1.8-2.4 meters) and a width of 6-10 feet (1.8-3 meters). Judd Viburnum is characterized by its rounded form and dense branching, which create a full, bushy appearance. The plant is renowned for its fragrant white flowers that bloom in mid to late spring, arranged in spherical clusters that are highly ornamental. Following the flowering period, non-showy, berry-like drupes may appear, which can attract birds.

Judd Viburnum is valued for its fragrant, showy flowers and its use as a specimen or foundation plant in residential landscapes. It is also suitable for mixed shrub borders and as a deciduous hedge. This shrub is relatively low-maintenance, requiring medium amounts of water and thriving in a variety of soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils, provided they have medium drainage. It prefers full sun to part shade, with some protection from the hottest afternoon sun in warmer climates. While generally disease-resistant, it can occasionally suffer from viburnum leaf beetle infestations or fungal diseases such as leaf spot.CC BY-SA 4.0
