Viburnum x juddi

Judd Viburnum

Judd viburnum (Viburnum × juddii) forms an upright, rounded shrub with dark green leaves. Pink buds open to rounded clusters of strongly fragrant white flowers, creating a memorable spring display.

Red and purple autumn foliage extends its interest later in the year. The broad framework suits an informal hedge, a mixed shrub border, or a specimen near a path where the fragrance can be enjoyed.

Grow in sun or partial shade with well-drained soil and regular water during establishment. Prune after flowering only when necessary; established plants tolerate some dry periods.
