*RETAIL - Viburnum cylindricum 'Roy Lancaster'
Shared with us by Portland’s Virginia Israelit, Roy Lancaster's selection of this Asian shrub is evergreen with, 6-10", leaves, long enough to appear drooping and waxy enough to write ones name in the blue, glaucous leaf surface. Cymes of small, white, sweetly scented flowers begin in June and continue, occasionally producing small, black fruit. Multi stemmed with a rounded form, these are typically 8-10 ft tall and wide in the garden though old, unpruned specimens can reach 15 ft tall. Best in sun to part shade in hottest areas with regular summer water. Frost hardy to 0F perhaps lower, USDA zone 7.

Planting Recommendations
Planting Recommendations
Under most conditions, planting directly into the garden is best. Keep in mind, that in our care, plants have been protected from intense sunlight and drying winds and would therefore require sheltered transition time in order to acclimate to such conditions in your garden.
All plants going into containers (rather than in the ground) should be potted immediately in well-drained potting mix and watered well to ensure the soil is fully moistened with no air pockets. Succulent plants abide by different rules (**see below).
Plants held for later planting are best stored in a cool greenhouse or a well-lit garage or basement, rather than in your house where conditions are likely too warm and dry.
Those plants needing time to acclimate can be set out in pots and provided some shade and shelter for the first week to allow for a successful transition.
**For cacti and other succulents, we recommend using a soil mix of less than 30% organic matter, preferably a 2-1 blend of cactus/succulent potting soil and pumice, perlite or lava rock. These plants are sensitive to prolonged heavy moisture, especially in cool/winter conditions. Keep this in mind when watering them for the first time. It is better to leave them dry in lower temperatures.
