Notes
'Lisarose' laurustinus (Viburnum tinus 'Lisarose') is a shrub for hedges, privacy screens, borders, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Red-pink buds open to white flowers, and bees, butterflies, and birds visit them. This dense evergreen is drought tolerant and salt tolerant.
Pairs well with Strawberry tree, Nelly Moser clematis, and Sweet William.
