  Almost spherical clusters of fragrant, pink-tinted white flowers opening from pink buds in April and May and oval, dark green leaves, sometimes turning red in autumn. This deciduous, spring-flowering viburnum is excellent for a partially shady site with moist, well-drained soil. Rounded and compact in habit, it's perfect for where border space is limited.
  
  
• Garden care: After flowering lightly cut back established specimens, pruning any misplaced shoots that spoil the symmetry of the plant.
