Plant Viburnum rhytidophyllum 'Cree' where you can enjoy its bold, leathery foliage and strong, upright presence through the seasons. This leatherleaf viburnum forms a large shrub that typically reaches about 72-96 inches tall with a similar spread, making it a great choice for a screen, informal hedge, or a substantial foundation planting.

In spring, it produces flat-topped clusters of creamy white flowers that stand out against the deep green, textured leaves. As the season progresses, the shrub can also carry colorful fruit that adds interest and can persist into cooler weather. The broadleaf evergreen character helps it keep structure in winter, especially in milder areas.

Give it full sun for best density and flowering, but it also tolerates part shade and even shade. Provide average, well-drained soil and consistent moisture during establishment; once settled, it is generally low maintenance. Prune after flowering if you need to shape the plant or keep it within bounds, and allow enough room so air can move through the branches for best overall health.
