Viburnum 'Moonlit Lace' (3 Gal)

Plant Spotlight: Viburnum ‘Moonlit Lace’

A petite beauty with year-round charm

At Wrights Market, we have a soft spot for plants that bring a little extra magic to the garden—and Viburnum ‘Moonlit Lace’ does exactly that. With its fine-textured, deep green foliage and delicate white spring blooms, this compact viburnum is the garden equivalent of a classic pearl earring—elegant, timeless, and always just right.

A New Southern Favorite

A hybrid between Viburnum davidii and Viburnum tinus, Moonlit Lace was bred for beauty and practicality. It combines the toughness of its parent plants with refined aesthetics that make it ideal for small spaces, borders, or as a standout foundation shrub.

It’s a newer introduction to Southern gardens, but we think it’s here to stay. Its dense, mounded habit and glossy evergreen leaves give it a polished look all year long—whether it’s showing off clusters of fragrant white flowers in spring or simply standing tall in winter when everything else has faded.

Where It Grows Best

This lovely little viburnum flourishes in USDA zones 7–9, making it well-suited for much of the South, including our sweet spot right here in Georgia.

It prefers:

• Full sun to part shade (morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal)

• Moist, well-drained soil

• A little wind protection in colder climates

Plant Care Tips – The Wrights Market Way

Like all our garden favorites, Moonlit Lace brings beauty with ease. Here’s how to give it the love it deserves:

• Water regularly during its first growing season. Once established, it’s relatively low-maintenance.

• Mulch generously to keep roots cool and retain moisture.

• Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release fertilizer to support healthy growth and blooms.

• Prune lightly after flowering if needed to maintain its tidy shape.

This is a plant that doesn’t ask for much—but gives a whole lot in return. Whether you’re tucking it into a cottage garden, lining a path, or adding structure to a mixed bed, Moonlit Lace adds just the right touch of refinement and charm.

Come by Wrights Market and see why this sweet, shimmering shrub is one of our top picks for small gardens with big Southern style.
