Plant Profile: Viburnum carlesii 'Compactum'

Korean Spice Viburnum is a compact, slow-growing variety that typically reaches heights and widths of 3 to 4 feet, featuring a rounded shape. Its striking, aromatic flowers, which emit a delightful cinnamon fragrance, bloom in April. This smaller viburnum is ideal for limited spaces such as smaller yards and gardens. After flowering, it produces blue-black drupes, and its foliage turns a muted red in the fall.

This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers average, medium-moist, acidic, well-drained soil. It can be effectively used as a foundation shrub, in shrub borders, as a hedge, or to attract butterflies and birds.
