The 'Viburnum Farreri' is also known as the 'Farrer viburnum' . It is one of the largest specimens of Viburnum available, producing large clusters of scented white flowers which open from pink buds in late autumn and last for weeks throughout winter. The foliage has a coppery appearance when young, slowing turning to green through the summer, and then a dazzling display of red-purple autumn colour before the leaf's fall.
