Description

A lovely shrub, Viburnum x carlcephalum is grown for its intensely fragrant, flower heads which are 8 - 12 cm in diameter in late spring or early summer. The dark green leaves can give a good display or red, orange or yellow tints in a good crisp autumn.

The exquisite scent means that this shrub is best planted in an often used area of your garden, for example near a back door!
