Viburnum Duo

Viburnum x bodnantense 'Dawn' is a firm favourite and popular because of its tough, resilient behaviour situated almost anywhere in the garden. In the depths of winter, this hardy, deciduous shrub bursts into life producing masses of richly perfumed blooms on bare, woody stems. The dark pink flowers fade slowly to white before giving way to small, rounded, purple berries in summer. By autumn, the green foliage of Viburnum x bodnantense 'Dawn' transforms to a vibrant cloak of orange and yellow, in one final display before the winter returns. This superb RHS AGM variety has a particularly long season of interest, making it an excellent choice for prominent borders and wildlife gardens. Height: 3m (10'). Spread: 2m (8'). Viburnum opulus 'snowball' has clusters of snowball flowers which smother the stems of Viburnum opulus in May and June, giving way to glossy, red berries in autumn. Viburnum flowers are loved by florists for their green-tinged blooms that mature to brilliant white. This reliable, bushy deciduous shrub is cloaked in vibrant green, maple-like foliage throughout summer before autumn turns its leaves to shades of purple and red. An excellent choice for encouraging wildlife, the Snowball Bush makes a superb specimen shrub for a long season of interest, even in challenging coastal areas. Height: 5m (10'). Spread: 4m (8').
