Viburnum tinus Gwenllian

Viburnum Gwenllian

Viburnum Gwenllian features impressive foliage and showy flowers. Red flower buds open to reveal showy clusters of mildly fragrant, white flowers during spring. These result in flowering that is a mix of red and white across the plant. The flowers are great for attracting birds and bees and are followed by masses of glossy, blue berries. The glossy, dark green foliage is lush and provides a great backdrop to the flowers. It typically grows to 3 m tall and 2 m wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best performance with this shrub is achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained site. It is a hardy plant that will tolerate dry periods, coastal conditions, frost, and cool climates. Viburnum Gwenllian is commonly included in a mixed planting, used as a backdrop for smaller plants, maintained in a container, included in cottage gardens, trimmed into a hedge, or grown anywhere the flowering can be appreciated.
