Flowers after the leaves unfurl!

Have you ever wondered what you would plant if there was only room for one in your outdoor space? High on my list would be something with amazing flowers. Yes, flowers with a tantalizing fragrance that could be carried on the breeze. Something I could plant along a walkway so that every time someone passed by, the sweet aroma would captivate him or her. Maybe a plant that was compact enough to place near a window so I could breath in the fragrance on a spring day.

Viburnum Spice Island™ offers all of these nuances and so much more! Delightfully fragrant, pink buds open to white snowball-like clusters. And unlike many viburnum carlesii, this variety blooms with its leaves fully expanded as a backdrop, enhancing the beauty of the flowers. And as the warm summer breezes make way for crisp autumn air, Spice Island’s™ leaves turn to brilliant shades of burgundy and glowing red. A compact grower, Spice Island™ is slow to mature, perfect for garden paths, smaller spaces and as a specimen plant.
