Product Details
Viburnum tinus is a dense, bushy evergreen shrub that brings lasting greenery and seasonal interest to a variety of garden settings. Its glossy, oval leaves create an attractive backdrop for the clusters of small flowers, which can appear from late winter into spring and provide colour when many other garden plants are dormant.
After flowering, the shrub produces ornamental berries that develop from metallic blue to black. Its naturally bushy habit makes it suitable for mixed borders, screening and evergreen planting schemes. It can be grown in a range of soil types and positions, from full sun to shade, making it a useful choice for many gardens.
Given suitable growing conditions, Viburnum tinus can reach a mature height and spread of approximately 2.5–4 metres, so allow enough room for it to develop.

Care & Growing Advice
Plant Viburnum tinus in well-drained soil and water regularly while it establishes, particularly during dry spells. It tolerates a range of light conditions, although flowering and growth may vary depending on the position and growing conditions.
Prune after flowering if needed to maintain the desired shape and size. Allow sufficient space for the shrub to reach its mature dimensions.
Safety note: The berries are ornamental and must not be eaten. Wear gloves and suitable protective equipment when handling the plant. Keep the plant and its berries away from pets that may chew or eat them.
