Viburnum x burkwoodii

A semi- evergreen shrub, Viburnum x burkwoodii has masses of white sometimes tinged-pink, very fragrant, flower clusters in spring (April - May). This Viburnum is semi-evergreen, meaning that the dark green leaves will generally stay on through the winter if planted in a mild or sheltered area but are likely to fall if planted in an exposed position or after a prolonged cold spell.

Viburnum x burkwoodii is an attractive, hardy and reliable garden shrub. The highly scented flowers make this an excellent choice for planting near a door or often used path.
