Korean Spice Viburnum

Large light pink to white flower clusters bloom mid spring, filling the air with sweetly spicy fragrance. This attractive 4- to 6-ft. shrub has dark green foliage which turns reddish in the fall. Small berries mature from red to blue-black and hang all winter providing food for birds. Prefers full sun to partial shade.

Compact, rounded bushy shrub with good growth characteristics makes it perfect for the landscape as a hedge or a screen. In spring the bush is covered with deep pink buds that open to pinkish white blooms emitting a sweetly spicy fragrance. Blooms are replaced in summer with red fruit that will turn blue-black and is attractive to birds. Green foliage often turns bright red to deep burgandy in the fall. Highly desired for rich wonderful fragrance.
