Viburnum for seasonal interest

Practical tips

Viburnums come in all sizes, so check the ultimate height and spread before buying, to ensure your chosen plant will fit your available space long term.

Viburnums with winter or early spring flowers

Some viburnums start their flowering display in the depths of winter, when little else is in bloom. The pink or white flowers are not only pretty, but richly perfumed too. 

Viburnums with late spring or summer flowers

Spring- and summer-flowering species put on an exuberant display of either lace-cap or snowball-like flowerheads.
