Arrowwood
Viburnum x bodnantense 'Dawn'
- As the sun rises over your garden each and every winter morning, why wouldn't you want to look at myriad pink flowers to pierce the seasonal gloom?
- That's exactly what 'Dawn' offers; clusters of fabulously-fragrant, candy-to-pastel pink flowers borne strikingly on bare stems through late autumn into early spring.
- Typically growing to two or three metres in height, this viburnum is the perfect shrub to add some structure and elevation to your garden.
- From spring to autumn, the flowers are swapped for lush green, gently-serrated leaves that take on more fiery hues come the back end of the year.
- 'Dawn' holds the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS, an award given to plants shown to perform well in British gardens.
