Viburnum x burkwoodii 'Conoy'

Conoy Viburnum

Conoy viburnum forms a compact but broad shrub with glossy leaves and cream-white spring flowers opening from pink buds. Red fruits and maroon seasonal foliage extend its interest beyond flowering.

Its structure combines dense branching and several main stems. Leaf retention varies with winter conditions. Autumn foliage can bring red tones.

Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide acidic, well-drained soil and maintain even moisture.
