Finding plants that perform in winter can be hard work, but this gorgeous Viburnum is just the thing to perk up those dull days.
Viburnum tinus produces masses of very fragrant white flowers emerging from blush-pink buds in clusters right in midwinter
- from December well into April, followed by red-violet berries. & its evergreen too, & totally hardy, although the leaves may suffer a little cosmetic cold damage below -10C.
However, it is rarely sold in this wonderful standard form, as an 80cm plant with a crafted head on top, bursting with bud & flower in spring. A fabulous focal tree on its own, great in pairs, & even better in an avenue along a path
- where the scent & colour will amaze you in winter.
