Viburnum

About this plant

This superior hybrid Viburnum is celebrated for its intoxicatingly fragrant clusters of white to pinkish-white flowers that bloom profusely in mid-spring, perfuming the garden with a delightful spicy scent. Its glossy, dark green leaves provide a sophisticated backdrop throughout the growing season, turning attractive shades of red and purple in autumn before dropping. 'Burkwood' Viburnum forms a dense, rounded, and compact shrub, making it an excellent choice for a variety of landscape applications, from specimen planting to foundational hedges or mixed borders. Its robust nature and attractive appearance ensure year-round appeal. Beyond its beauty, this Viburnum offers ecological benefits, attracting pollinators with its abundant blossoms and providing food and shelter for birds with its small, red fruit (though less prominent than some other Viburnum varieties).

Care & maintenance

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to partial shade. Prefers consistently moist soil but tolerates some drought once established. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches. Minimal pruning is generally required. Fertilize in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer.
