Estimated Native Range
Summary
Viburnum setigerum, commonly known as Tea Viburnum, is a deciduous shrub native to open woodlands and forest margins in China. It typically grows to a height of 8-12 feet (2.4-3.7 meters) and a width of 5-8 feet (1.5-2.4 meters). The shrub has an upright, multi-stemmed form, and in the spring, it produces showy clusters of small white flowers, which are followed by bright red berries in the fall, providing multi-season interest.
Tea Viburnum is valued for its ornamental features, including its attractive flowers and fruit, which can attract birds and other wildlife to the garden. It is used in cultivation for border planting, as a specimen, or for naturalizing in informal areas. Tea Viburnum is relatively low-maintenance, tolerating a range of soil types, though it prefers well-drained soils. It is adaptable to full sun or part shade, making it versatile for different garden settings. While generally pest-resistant, it can occasionally suffer from viburnum leaf beetle infestations.CC BY-SA 4.0
