Viburnum plants can be either evergreen or deciduous and are prized for their interesting foliage and their pretty spring flowers. The flowers grow in clusters and are white or pink; they are later followed by red, blue or black berries.
Viburnum plants are great for planting in a range of situations as many viburnums can tolerate full sun, full shade or partial shade. These lovely plants also grow well in any well-drained soil and are perfect for planting in borders or beds.
