Very well packaged, perfectly healthy and vigorous, this viburnum, now planted as a solitary specimen near a path, is doing well. We await its spring fragrance...

Description
Viburnum x burkwoodii is a bush with a rounded and dense habit and dark green foliage. From April to May, it produces pink to white flowers. This flowering is both abundant and fragrant, with an intoxicating scent reminiscent of orange blossom. It is highly appreciated for its dual appeal of a beautiful spring flowering and stunning copper colours in autumn.
This variety is the result of cross-breeding between Viburnum carlesii and V. utile. It reaches a height of 2 to 2.5m (7 to 8ft). At the time of flowering, the bush bears abundant 10cm (4in) diameter flower clusters at the end of its branches. The pink flowers turn white as they mature, creating a subtle gradual colour gradient that stands out against its dark foliage. The flowers are followed in September-October by spherical fruits that are initially red and then turn black when ripe, prolonging their ornamental interest throughout part of winter. Its fruiting attracts birds. The semi-evergreen foliage takes on coppery hues in autumn.
Hardy down to -20°C (-4°F), Viburnum x burkwoodii can be used as a singular specimen to attract attention in small gardens, or as a hedge or in borders in larger gardens. Its inflorescences can be used for making bouquets. Consider planting it in a high-traffic area to fully enjoy its fragrance, such as under a window or near a door.

Planting and care
Evergreen down to -20°C (4°F), Viburnum x burkwoodii 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).

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
