About

Sweet Viburnum (Viburnum odoratissimum) is a popular evergreen shrub known for its fragrant flowers, attractive foliage, and ornamental fruit. This versatile plant can be used in various landscape applications and is well-loved by gardeners for its low maintenance requirements and adaptability.

The Overall Plant

Native to Asia, Sweet Viburnum is a fast-growing evergreen shrub that can reach heights of 10 to 20 feet and a spread of 6 to 12 feet. Its adaptability to various growing conditions, including full sun to partial shade and a wide range of soil types, makes it a popular choice for hedges, screens, or specimen plants. The plant's dense, dark green foliage provides a lush backdrop for its fragrant flowers, while its resistance to pests and diseases contributes to its low-maintenance reputation.

The Flowers

Sweet Viburnum produces clusters of small, tubular, white flowers in the spring. These blooms emit a delightful fragrance, lending a sweet and pleasant scent to the garden. The flowers also attract various pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, which can enhance the biodiversity of your landscape. Following the flowering season, the plant begins to produce its ornamental fruit.

The Fruit

After the blooms have faded, Sweet Viburnum produces clusters of small, red berries that mature to a glossy black. These decorative fruits not only add visual interest to the plant but also serve as a valuable food source for birds and other wildlife. The fruit typically persists on the branches throughout the fall and winter months, providing color and texture in the garden when many other plants have gone dormant.
