Viburnum tinus

Viburnum tinus is a dense, evergreen shrub with dark and oval, glossy leaves, which contrast beautifully with fragrant pinkish-white flowers, followed by dark black fruit. It's a popular choice for hedging but may also be grown as a specimen shrub in a mixed border.

Grow Viburnum tinus in moist but well-drained soils in full sun to partial shade. Mulch annually with well-rotted manure or compost and cut back plants to retain their shape in early summer.
