Description:
Sweet Viburnum (Viburnum odoratissimum / Viburnum sinensis) is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub or small tree widely prized for its lush foliage and highly fragrant blooms. With large, leathery, glossy green leaves and clusters of small white flowers that emerge from pink buds, it puts on a spectacular display in spring and summer.

It is a resilient, slightly frost-hardy plant that tolerates a range of conditions, including dry spells once established. This makes it an excellent choice for hedges, screening, or feature plantings in both residential and commercial landscapes.

Sweet Viburnum thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, well-drained soil. It responds well to pruning, whether shaped into formal hedges, informal screens, or even “lollipop” standards. Regular pruning after flowering helps maintain its shape and size.
