Burkwood Viburnum

The Burkwood Viburnum is an upright shrub, reaching 8 to 10 feet tall in time, and spreading 6 or 7 feet wide. It has many branches from the ground, and the dark green leaves are evergreen in warm zones, and deciduous in cooler ones, where they turn rich maroon red first. The profuse clusters of pink buds open to white, fragrant flowers, attracting insects, and the red berries that come in fall turn black as they ripen. This easy shrub is ideal for all gardens, filling beds and adding interest to natural areas. It is non-invasive.

• Beautiful clusters of white fragrant spring blooms

Grow the Burkwood Viburnum in a range of light conditions, from full sun to partial shade. It thrives just about anywhere, in almost all soils, as long as they are not wet all the time. It tolerates urban pollution and drought too, once established. Pests and diseases are normally absent, and virtually no care is needed once this shrub has become established. Pruning after flowering is optional.
