Features

notes
Providing interest in the garden over a long period of time, Viburnum Tinus (laurustinus) is a dense, bushy shrub with dark, glossy leaves. In late winter, just when gardens need some excitement, it bears clusters of small white flowers, that emerge from pale pink buds. Both humans and bees are drawn to the flowers, which are followed by an encore of metallic blue, turning to black, berries.
Insights

Due to its ability to thrive in shadier areas, Viburnum Tinus is a fantastic plant to bring some colour to a dull corner. The dark, glossy foliage is evergreen and provides a wonderful foil against colourful perennials, or the shrub could be used as a wildlife-friendly windbreak or screening plant.
