Korean Spice Viburnum – Fragrance that Fills the Garden
Korean Spice Viburnum (Viburnum carlesii) is a compact deciduous shrub adored for its intoxicatingly fragrant, pink flower buds that open to white blooms in mid-spring. The scent is rich and spicy-sweet, often compared to cloves or vanilla, and easily fills the air around patios, walkways, or entryways.
Its dense green foliage turns shades of red and burgundy in fall, and it produces red berries that ripen to black, attracting birds. With a rounded form and low-maintenance nature, it’s perfect for foundation plantings, borders, and cottage gardens.
