Viburnum odoratissimum, commonly known as sweet viburnum, is a fast-growing evergreen shrub valued for its dense growth, glossy green foliage, and small clusters of fragrant white flowers. Its naturally upright, spreading habit makes it a popular choice for hedges, screens, and foundation plantings where a thick, year-round green backdrop is desired.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water during extended dry periods
• Pruning: Prune as needed to maintain shape or size, commonly used for hedge maintenance
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy growth
