Description

Viburnum x burkwoodii 'Conoy' is a compact shrub with a rounded and bushy habit. It boasts small, shiny, dark green, deciduous leaves, pink then white flowers that bloom from April to May, and attractive red fruits in autumn. It has a generous and fragrant flowering, reminiscent of orange blossom. It is highly appreciated for its double interest of beautiful spring flowering and attractive coppery colours in autumn. It is suitable for containers or small gardens due to its slow growth rate. This deciduous bush is very hardy and grows well in any ordinary moist soil, without excessive limestone, in full sun or partial shade.

This variety is the result of a cross-breeding between Viburnum carlesii and V. utile, and reaches a height and spread of 1.5m (5ft). During flowering, the bush carries abundant 10cm (4in) diameter flower clusters at the end of its branches. The pink flowers gradually turn white, creating a subtle gradient of colours that contrasts perfectly with its dark foliage. The flowers are followed by spherical fruits in September-October, which are initially red before turning black when ripe, extending the ornamental interest into winter. Its fruits attract birds. The semi-evergreen foliage takes on coppery hues in autumn.

Hardy up to -20°C (-4°F), Viburnum x burkwoodii 'Conoy' can be used as a standalone plant to attract attention in small gardens, or as a hedge or group planting in larger gardens. Its inflorescences can be used in flower arrangements. Consider planting it in a high-traffic area to fully enjoy its fragrance, such as near a window or a door.

Viburnum, Viorne: planting, pruning and growing

Read article

Decorative both for their delicate flowerings, their colourful berries, and their leaves — which often take on stunning shades in autumn — Viburnum have everything to please! In winter or in spring, they enhance borders with their generous white or pink flowering. Once this is over, the red, black, or blue berries create a new attraction in the garden and attract birds. And when autumn arrives, the leaves of the deciduous species adorn themselves with sumptuous red or orange colours. This is the case for Viburnum opulus (Guelder rose), Viburnum lantana, and Viburnum plicatum. As for the evergreen species, such as Viburnum tinus (Laurustinus), Viburnum davidii, or Viburnum rhytidophyllum, they retain their foliage and remain decorative in winter! Planted as a hedge, they will create a green screen that hides from prying eyes during the cold season. Rather easy to grow, Viburnum require little maintenance. Most are very hardy and thrive in sun or partial shade. They appreciate rich, cool, and well-drained soil. They can generally adapt to any type of soil but prefer acidic grounds. Particularly resistant to pollution — especially Viburnum opulus, Viburnum tinus, and Viburnum davidii — Viburnums can be planted in urban and polluted environments. Viburnum tinus ‘Eve Price’ or Viburnum lantana are perfect for integrating into a living hedge with other deciduous or evergreen bushes! As for Viburnum plicatum and Viburnum opulus ‘Roseum’ (also known as Snowball), they have such impressive flowerings that they will make a very beautiful effect if planted alone, for example in the middle of a short grass meadow. Use the other species to compose a shrub border.

Planting and care

Evergreen down to -20°C (-4°F), Viburnum x burkwoodii 'Conoy' thrives in sunny or semi-shaded locations. Plant it in moist but well-drained soil. Depending on your soil type, adjust its pH with compost as it won't tolerate excessive limestone. During its initial establishment, ensure regular watering (except during freezing periods). Viburnum are sometimes invaded by black bean aphids (Aphis fabae), a parasite that also overwinters on Euonymus and is a vector for Cucumber Mosaic Virus, which causes a serious mosaic disease. The leaves are sometimes ravaged by leaf beetle. Powdery mildew, rot, and leaf spots can also affect them.
