Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
I just received my six yardline viburnum last week. It's nice and healthy!! I found a tall and narrow plant. I'm in zone 8b. I can't wait to see it grow tall.
Received Yardline Viburnum and am very pleased with the health and quaility. Thank you!
Zone 9b here! Have a snowball viburnum that's been in the ground when we were zone 8b. But I've been looking for an evergreen viburnum forever! And being frugal, love getting my shrubs small and cheaper! Yardline viburnums are fairly tall AND evergreen, so I'm taking my 37 year old rose of Sharon as they're declining and messy. Plants arrived pkged well, I repotted them, as we haven't removed the rose of sharon
Love these shrubs. The leaves are shiny and lush. Very healthy plants. Can not wait to see them grow
It is very small and all dried up
Yardline® Viburnum
I have ordered several plants from Great Garden Plants over time. Always pleased with this company whether I call or order online. I purchased a Yardline Viburnum this spring. Packaged well--plant arrived in great shape. It has more than doubled in size since planting which was less than 2 months ago. Anytime I am looking for a new plant, I look at Great Garden Plants site first, and hope they sell it because that is where I prefer to shop..
How fast does it grow?
The growth rate of plants can vary depending on the conditions they're grown in, such as soil quality, water availability, and climate. For the best growth results, ensure the viburnum is planted in moist, well-draining soil, and in a location that receives full sun.
Some shrubs only produce berries when they are female like the wax myrtle. I have 3 of them & 2 must be male since they haven't. The third one is still too young to tell. Does this apply to this viburnum?
Yardline® Viburnum does need another variety to produce berries. If you can't find a suitable pollinator, you (and early season pollinators) can still enjoy the beautiful white flowers in spring!
Will this self pollinate and get berries or do I need to plant another viburnum? If it does not self pollinate, can you give me examples of plants I could plant as a pollinator? I cannot find specific information online.
Hello there! Yardline® Viburnum will indeed produce its lovely berries without the need for a pollinating partner.
Size of plant in one quart container
Hello! Plant size varies widely depending on the variety that you purchase and the time of year. The important thing when it comes to purchasing plants, whether online or in a garden center, is that they have a full, robust root system, and that's what we prioritize in our growing. The more roots a plant has, the more energy it can put into growing once it is planted in your garden.
Will Yardline™ Viburnum grow in Florida (zone 9 & 9b). Is this the same a sweet viburnum?
Hello! Yardline™ Viburnum is rated for USDA zones 7-10 so it should do well in zone 9. This is a different variety than sweet viburnum.
