Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 15-30cm

Product Code:  VIOP12

From Only: £18.39 Ex VAT
Or £1.53 Per Plant


Our RHS Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus) cell grown plants are extracted from their cells prior to despatch and are wrapped in protective packaging to ensure the root plug stays moist. The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that cell grown plants can become more quickly established than bare root. Another advantage of cell grown Guelder Rose is that it can be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. As long as the roots are kept moist, cell grown plants can be planted throughout the year.

Complete Product Information for Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 15-30cm
Our RHS Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus) cell grown plants are extracted from their cells prior to despatch and are wrapped in protective packaging to ensure the root plug stays moist.

The Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus) is a British native plant but it is also common across Europe. The name Guelder originates from the Dutch province of Guelderland.

The Viburnum Opulus is a vigorous, bushy, native deciduous shrub that has something for every season. With flat heads of heavily scented white flowers in summer, followed by masses of bunches of translucent bright red berries in autumn that stay on the plant until after its leaves have dropped. The berries are slightly harmful to humans but are vigorously eaten by birds. The dark green leaves are palmate and prominently veined turn red in autumn complementing the red berries. In autumn its foliage turns into a vibrant red colour.

In order to get good berries the plant must flower first therefore prune out old growth after flowering to encourage new stems that will bloom the following year taking care not to remove floweringberrying stems. It can be grown as an informal hedge or added to a mixed native hedge taking into consideration that more than one Guelder Rose will provide a higher certainty of pollination to provide good fruiting.

It is suitable for all soils and positions in particular moist soil and wet sites and performs best in sunlight or light shade. For hedges 5-10ft plant 2ft (60cm) apart.

The Viburnum Opulus has no serious insect or disease problems. It is wildlife friendly with 17 identified insect types associated. A potential disease is leaf spot. Potential insects include aphids, viburnum beetle or viburnum whitefly. Toxicity; fruit can cause a mild stomach upset.
