Viburnum × bodnantense |
Viburnum × bodnantense, the Bodnant viburnum, is a Group of hybrid flowering plant cultivars of garden origin. They originate in a cross between V. farreri and V. grandiflorum [1] made by Charles Puddle, head gardener to Lord Aberconway at Bodnant Garden, Wales around 1935. [2]
The most famous selection, 'Dawn', [3] is a substantial deciduous shrub growing to 2.5 m (8.2 ft) tall by 1.5 m (4.9 ft) broad. In winter and early spring the bare branches are clothed with fragrant pink blooms, and later by narrow, heavily-veined oval leaves. These turn bright red in autumn, and are often accompanied by small globose red fruits. Though hardy down to −20 °C (−4 °F), like all early-flowering shrubs the flowers can be affected by late frost – which in turn affects the production of fruit. This shrub requires a sheltered position in full sun or partial shade, in soil that stays moist.
The cultivars 'Dawn', [3] 'Deben' [4] and 'Charles Lamont' [5] are recipients of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. [6]
According to the Plant List, Viburnum × bodnantense is an unresolved name, meaning that it has not yet been accredited as a valid botanical name or synonym. [7]
