- Description
An easy-to-grow shrub, Burkwood viburnum offers multi-season appeal in the landscape with its semi-evergreen foliage. The very fragrant early spring blooms are pink in bud and open white, giving off a spicy scent. The blooms last longer than other fragrant viburnum, and if planted near a compatible pollinator, the white flowers will transition to red berries. Burkwood viburnum is enjoyed by birds and pollinators, but deer don’t seem to be interested. Its handsome habit is perfect for foundation plantings, hedges, and mixed borders.
