Why we love this plant!

With large, emerald-green glossy leaves and a vigorous, bushy growth habit, ‘Emerald Lustre’ is perfect for creating fast-growing hedges or adding a lush, green backdrop to gardens. This variety thrives in South East Queensland’s warm climate, handling humidity and dry spells well. In spring, clusters of small white flowers attract pollinators, enhancing local biodiversity. Its dense foliage provides excellent privacy screening while offering a fresh, vibrant presence in the landscape year-round.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

  • Requires moderate watering and becomes drought-tolerant once established.

Mulching preferences:

  • Applying organic mulch may help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilising preferences:

  • A balanced fertiliser in spring and summer may support healthy growth.

Pruning preferences:

  • Prune after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushy growth.

Good to Know:

  • Larger leaves and faster growth compared to standard Sweet Viburnum.
  • Ideal for privacy hedges, as it grows quickly and thickens well in South East Queensland conditions.
