Viburnum foetens Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: An easily grown plant, it succeeds in most soils but is ill-adapted for poor soils and for dry situations[1]. It prefers a deep rich loamy soil in sun or semi-shade[11, 200]. Best if given shade from the early morning sun in spring[200]. Requires shelter from northerly and easterly winds[200]. Plants are hardy to about -20°c[184]. A very ornamental plant[1], it flowers in the winter and the flowers are said to withstand temperatures down to -12°c without damage[11, 200]. However fruit is not often produced in this country[K]. This may be due to the plant being self-incompatible and so growing 2 or more different cultivars together may improve fruit set[11, 200]. Hand pollination may also be beneficial as well as siting the plants so that they get the maximum of protection from severe winter weather[K]. A west-facing wall or woodland edge would be ideal for this[K]. Closely allied to V. grandiflorum and included in that species by many botanists[11]. This species has a more westerly range, shorter stems and white flowers[200].The crushed leaves have a foetid aroma[182]. For further Viburnum foetens gardening information |
