Viburnum Odoratissima 200mm

Viburnum odoratissimum is a hardy, fast-growing evergreen shrub prized for its lush, glossy green foliage and dense, bushy growth. An excellent choice for hedging and screening, it creates a beautiful year-round backdrop while providing privacy and structure in the garden.

Clusters of small, fragrant white flowers appear amongst the foliage, adding seasonal interest and attracting bees and other beneficial pollinators. Its naturally dense growth responds well to regular pruning, making it easy to maintain as a formal hedge or allow to develop into a larger informal screen.

Adaptable and relatively low maintenance once established, Viburnum odoratissimum performs well in full sun to part shade and prefers fertile, well-drained soil. Regular watering while young will help establish a strong root system and encourage vigorous growth.

Tip: For a thick, dense hedge, lightly trim Viburnum regularly from an early age rather than waiting until it reaches its desired height. This encourages branching lower down the plant and helps create a fuller screen from top to bottom.
