Viburnum tinus

Size: 30cm/33cm
Sale price$120.00

Viburnum tinus looks excellent when used as a dense, rounded feature shrub or hedge, providing year-round interest with its dark green foliage and showy winter to spring blooms. Growing 2.5 to 4 meters tall and wide, it offers a solid structure for gardens and landscapes.

This evergreen shrub is drought-hardy once established and tolerates heat, cold, and wind, making it a reliable choice for various climates. For added impact, it can be underplanted with low-growing perennials or groundcovers to create layered garden designs. Its low maintenance and moderate water needs make it perfect for both formal and informal hedging, as well as standalone planting.
