📌 Product Description

Viburnum is a versatile, evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub prized for its dense foliage, fragrant flowers, and ornamental berries. Depending on the species, Viburnum produces clusters of white or cream flowers in spring to summer, often followed by bright red or black berries in autumn that attract birds.

Its dense, bushy growth habit makes it ideal for hedges, screening, borders, and mixed shrub plantings. Hardy and adaptable, Viburnum thrives in many South African climates and adds year-round structure and beauty to gardens.
