Viburnum is a diverse group of deciduous and evergreen shrubs known for their beautiful flowers, vibrant berries, and often stunning autumn foliage. In spring, many Viburnum varieties produce clusters of small, fragrant blooms in shades of white or pink, which attract bees and other pollinators. By late summer, these flowers give way to colourful berries—ranging from red and orange to deep blue or black—that persist into winter, providing both visual interest and a vital food source for birds. The foliage of some Viburnum varieties turns striking shades of red, orange, or purple in autumn, adding a seasonal highlight to the landscape.
Viburnum shrubs are highly versatile and can be used as specimen plants, hedges, or as part of mixed borders. With their reliable flowering, multi-season interest, and low-maintenance nature, they are a valuable addition to any garden.
