Viburnum ×rhytidophylloides, commonly known as Lantanaphyllum Viburnum or Leatherleaf Viburnum, is a semi-evergreen perennial shrub that is an artificial hybrid resulting from the cross between Viburnum rhytidophyllum and Viburnum lantana. It is not naturally occurring but has been bred to combine the desirable traits of both parent species. This shrub typically grows at a moderate rate to a height and width of 6-10 feet (1.8-3 meters). It features wrinkled, dark green leaves and bears clusters of creamy white flowers in the spring, which are quite showy and attract pollinators. The flowers may be followed by red berries that mature to black, providing interest in the landscape and food for birds.

Lantanaphyllum Viburnum is valued for its textured foliage, spring flowers, and berries. It is used in cultivation for hedges, screens, or as a specimen plant in residential gardens and public landscapes. It is adaptable to a range of soil types, including clay, loam, or sandy soils, and can tolerate both fast and slow drainage. While it prefers medium amounts of water, it is relatively drought-tolerant once established. It thrives in full sun to part shade and benefits from mulching to maintain soil moisture. Pruning is recommended to shape the plant and encourage denser growth. It is generally disease-resistant but can be susceptible to leaf spot and powdery mildew.CC BY-SA 4.0
