About Viburnum
Viburnum are a large or small shrub that are very versatile and easy to grow. They can be evergreen or deciduous and provide interest at different times of the year.
The best thing about Viburnums are the clusters of tiny, pretty white or pink flowers that are also highly fragrant. The flowers are often followed by ornamental berry like fruit that are really beneficial to the birds during the winter months.
The best place to grow Viburnums is in a sunny spot or lightly shaded area of your garden, this will guarantee an abundance of flowers. In shade they won’t produce many flowers. They like a good quality soil and dislike very dry or very wet conditions.
