Viburnum tinus 'Gwenllian'

Description: Viburnum tinus 'Gwenllian' is a compact, densely branched evergreen shrub celebrated for its exceptional winter and spring floral display. From late autumn through to early spring, clusters of deep pink buds open to reveal delicate white flowers, providing much-needed colour and interest during the colder months when little else blooms. The flowers are followed by attractive dark metallic blue-black berries that persist into summer, offering additional ornamental value and a valuable food source for birds. With its glossy, dark green foliage and naturally neat, bushy habit, 'Gwenllian' is an excellent choice for mixed borders, informal hedging, screening, or as a standalone specimen. This RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM) holder is reliable, low-maintenance, and well-suited to South England's diverse garden settings, including chalky and clay soils. The compact growth habit makes it particularly valuable for smaller gardens and constrained spaces.
