Most wonderful fragrance. Handsome clean foliage with nice fall color. I enjoy the flower buds too. They look like little cauliflowers.

This is a clean, neat shrub that is commonly planted species in landscapes. I see it used more by landscape architects and designers than the general public; the latter who are not as a aware of Viburnums. This is one of those Viburnum species that has scruffy buds and twigs, along with grey-green leaves rough to the touch. (There are other Viburnums that are smooth without rough hair on buds and leaves.) The rounded flower clusters are very spicy fragrant, having a pinkish tint at first, with individual flowers a bout 1/2 inch in diameter, and the semi-rounded flower clusters about 2 to 3 inches wide in April - May for about 10 days. It can get good wine red fall color, but not always. The hybrid Judd Viburnum that is a little larger shrub and having smaller, dark green leaves is sometimes substituted instead.
