Viburnum carlecephalum

Carlecephalum' Viburnum

Fragrant viburnum (Viburnum x carlcephalum) carries scented, rounded flower clusters on a broad deciduous shrub. The loose framework and reddish autumn leaves suit a mixed border with room for its eventual spread.

Its structure combines upright growth and an open canopy. Growth is moderate. The leaves are shed for winter. Autumn foliage can bring red tones.

Choose a sunny, open site. Provide acidic, well-drained soil and maintain even moisture.
