Disappointed to observe significant differences in the dimensions of the adult vine-plant between those communicated on the website and the sheet contained in the neck upon reception. Error or is it intentional?

Description

The  Viburnum tinus 'Spirit' is a very early variety of laurel, floweing from the end of November. The inflorescences offer a beautiful range of colours, from bright pink to pure white, a bit of colour in the heart of winter.

 

Viburnum tinus is a local species native to the entire Mediterranean region, it belongs to the caprifoliaceae family. The 'Spirit' variety from this species forms a small, compact bush, with a round habit,  2 to 2.50m (6.6ft) in size with long-lasting flowering which starts in November, its coloured flower buds open into perfect white umbels in March; a particularly appreciated touch of colour in this season. The flowers will give way to small black berries that attract birds.

The evergreen foliage of this bush will clothe hedges where have planted it. Hardy and perfectly adapted to many growing conditions, you can also keep it in a container or use it as a standalone plant in a small garden. At the base, consider planting some spring bulbs that will take over from the winter flowering while waiting for the more spring-like bushes to wake up.
