330mm Laurustinus - Viburnum tinus

This evergreen medium sized shrub (3mts x 3mts) has dark green, glossy leaves. Lime green new growth appears throughout the year but it is winter when the show really starts.

Late autumn and early winter clusters of small pink buds appear that burst into a white flower show in the depths of winter and flow

into early spring.

This extremely hardy plant makes a great specimen shrub or hedge in any garden as it is the perfect ‘Backdrop” plant. When the rest of the garden is dull and drab, it comes to life!

Viburnum tinus prefers full sun but will take part shade and will live almost anywhere including the coast. It will take 45 degrees to -5 degrees and still perform well. (Adelaide to Canberra conditions)
It can be lightly pruned for shaping or respond well to a savage prune for rejuvenation. Usually one prune per year after flowering is all it takes for outstanding results.
