Add a structural masterpiece to your garden that performs when everything else is dormant with Viburnum tinus. This classic evergreen shrub is a gardener’s favourite for its incredible winter interest and versatility. Starting in late autumn, clusters of dark pink buds appear, opening into delicate star-shaped white flowers that last through the spring. These are followed by striking, metallic blue-black berries that provide a vital food source for birds. With its dense, bushy habit and leathery dark-green leaves, it is the perfect choice for a low-maintenance hedge or a reliable backdrop in a mixed border.

Care & Usage Instructions:
Viburnum tinus is exceptionally easy to grow. It performs well in full sun, partial shade, or even full shade, making it a "go-to" plant for tricky corners. It is not fussy about soil types, provided the ground is well-drained. While it is drought-tolerant once established, ensure new plants are watered regularly during their first growing season. To maintain a neat shape or to use as a formal hedge, prune the plant in late spring immediately after the flowering has finished.
