Viburnum carlesii Sugar n' Spice™
An abundance of fragrant, small flowers cover the plant.
This viburnum has really stepped up its game! So what makes Sugar n’ Spice™ so special? A standard sized Korean Spicebush, with a super-sized flower display! In mid-spring the plant is dotted with lovely pink buds that open to clusters of white, spicy-sweet flowers. Smaller than average, these flowers are much more abundant throughout the body of the plant.
An in-your-face variety, at nose level, this viburnum will fill your senses with tantalizing fragrance. Plant along a path or close to your outdoor living area. Extending the season, late fall brings an unforgettable display of maroon and red autumn foliage. With few exceptions, no other shrubs offers as much to the garden as Sugar n’ Spice™.
