Viburnums thrive here in Manchester. In winter 2011/ 2012, many have flowered very early in the winter. This particular variety is one of the later flowering viburnums - April/ May. I like this deciduous (ish) variety for a few reasons. It produces masses of fragrant clusters of flowers - almost obscuring the foliage. Sometimes the foliage is purple in the autumn. It is a compact variety.
This plant thrives in sun or part shade and prefers moist and fertile soil. It benefits from a light trim after flowering to keep a nice shape.
You can take cuttings in summer.
