Viburnum Regenteum

While we were at a nursery today we bought a Viburnum Regentum. I've never heard of this variety of viburnum before and the label on it contains very little info about it apart from claiming it is quite rare. Does anyone know anything about this shrub ie size ? does it flower ? what colour flowers ? are they scented etc ?

Thanks everyone Nigel

 

So rare it is not mentioned in the latest book on Viburnums by Michael Dirr nor in the book produced by the holder of one of the National collections, Lloyd Kenyon. The nearest name is V. recognitum so maybe it is a mislabelled plant?

 

Dont think it is mislabelled as I have now found it on the RHS site so I presume the name does exist. There are no details about it though so its just a case of planting it and seeing what happens

 

Funny I Googled it the other day before I answered and got no hits at all.

 

On Yahoo-ing (I find better than Googling) I have found it three times but with no relevant information ... so an interesting plant to watch, Nigel, and please keep us posted.

By the way, welcome to GC.
