Viburnum x bodnantense 'Dawn'

Dawn Viburnum

Dawn Bodnant Viburnum is valued for fragrant flowers that appear on bare branches from late autumn into spring. Dark pink buds and flowers soften toward pale pink and white as they age.

The upright shrub develops into a prominent border plant, with toothed green leaves through the growing season. Place it where its cool-season flowers can be seen and their scent enjoyed.

Choose sun or partial shade and moisture-retentive soil with good drainage. Provide room for the natural branching pattern.
