Adoxaceae
Viburnum lantana, commonly known as wayfaring tree, is a hardy deciduous shrub with a dense, rounded, bushy habit, valued for its high tolerance to difficult conditions. Vigorous and adaptable, it forms a compact mass ideal for informal hedges, privacy screens, and naturalized plantings. In spring, it produces flat cymes of small, slightly fragrant, creamy white flowers, rich in nectar and highly attractive to pollinators. Its grayish-green foliage, velvety to the touch, turns yellow to reddish-purple in autumn. In summer, it develops clusters of oval berries that change from bright red to shiny black when ripe, decorative and prized by birds. Viburnum lantana is distinguished by its hardiness, its tolerance to calcareous soils, and its significant resistance to urban conditions.
