Plant Profile: Viburnum carlesii

Korean Viburnum thrives best in sunny to partially shaded areas and requires moist, well-drained soil, including clay types. This shrub features a rounded, irregular shape with sturdy, upright branches. Its flowers are not only visually striking but also emit a pleasant fragrance. Since it blooms on old wood, it's important to prune it right after the flowering period ends. This plant can be effectively used as a hedge, in shrub borders, or as a foundation planting. The highly fragrant blossoms typically appear from mid to late spring, while the fall foliage can display a reddish-burgundy hue, though this can vary. Additionally, grafted plants often produce suckers from the rootstock.
