Description
Viburnum dilatatum 'Michael Dodge' is a bush with linden-like leaves, also known as the broad panicle bush. It is particularly interesting for its profusion of astonishing bright yellow berries that persist long into autumn. This deciduous bush has a rounded habit, denser and more compact than usual varieties, and produces flattened white inflorescences in spring. Its foliage turns beautiful scarlet red in autumn. A distinctive and colourful country bush that adapts to any good garden soil that is not too dry.
Viburnum dilatatum 'Michael Dodge' is a cross between V. dilatatum and V. opulus 'Xanthocarpum', selected in 1969 within the Winterthur gardens. It forms a relatively unknown bush. Viburnum dilatatum, also known as the broad panicle bush or linden-like leaf bush, belongs to the Viburnaceae family. Native to China, it deserves its place in our gardens thanks to its beautiful textured leaves and its impressive white inflorescences arranged in corymbs, followed by persistent berries that are particularly ornamental. This bush has a rounded habit with upright branches, reaching a height of 2 to 4m (7 to 13ft) and a width of 3m (10ft). Its leaves are opposite, like the leaves of a linden tree. In autumn, the foliage becomes scarlet red and persists until the leaves fall late in the season.
Completely hardy, 'Michael Dodge' is a low-maintenance plant. It thrives in sunny or semi-shady positions and flourishes in any ordinary soil, preferably moist, even limestone and clay. It can tolerate shade, but it blooms less and its autumnal colours will be more muted. It can be used as a specimen plant in small gardens. In larger gardens, use in hedges or in borders. In a hedge, it can be combined with European spindle, Cotinus, oakleaf hydrangea, and Physocarpus.

Planting and care
Viburnum dilatatum thrives in sunny or semi-shady locations. While it prefers moist, light soil, it can adapt to any good garden soil that is not too dry, even clayey or slightly chalky. If the soil is very chalky, you can add ericaceous soil to the planting substrate. Abundant watering after planting and during the first few weeks will ensure good establishment. Pruning can be done after flowering to maintain a compact habit.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
