VIBURNUM
Viburnum is a large genus of deciduous and broadleaf evergreen shrubs. One can be found to suit almost any
purpose in your garden. Some produce wonderfully fragrant blossoms while others display showy flowers followed
by attractive fruits and colorful fall foliage. Plant viburnum in full sun for best growth, although most will tolerate
some shade. Rich, moist, well-drained soil is preferred.
