Shrubs

Viburnum tinus ‘Spring Bouquet’

Spring Bouquet Laurustinus

Viburnum tinus 'Spring Bouquet' produces broad clusters of lightly fragrant white flowers from deep rosy-red buds in late winter to early spring, followed by metallic steel-blue berries that gradually darken. Glossy, oval dark green leaves densely cover the branches, creating handsome evergreen foliage throughout the year. Reddish stems complement the colorful flower buds, while the compact, rounded branching gives the shrub a full, substantial appearance even outside its flowering season.

Design tip

Make ‘Spring Bouquet’ part of the garden’s winter framework rather than relying on it only for bloom. Its rounded evergreen form provides structure year-round, then abundant pink buds and fragrant white flowers create a welcome focal point during the quieter winter season.
