Patio Viburnum Tree
Viburnum tinus 'Eve Price'
- Few plants offer the kind of year-round interest that Viburnum tinus does, and now you can get all of those benefits in patio tree form!
- With its year-round glossy evergreen foliage, white- pink flower clusters in darkest winter and ornamental blue-black berries later in the year, this hardy little shrub will elevate any drab balcony or tired patch of paving into a space worth talking about.
- Needing only a little annual pruning to retain its compact patio shape, this short tree is low on maintenance but oh-so high on impact.
- The berries produced by the plant are a favourite with songbirds like robins and finches.
- Pollinating insects like bees and butterflies also love this variety, and Viburnum tinus has been granted the RHS's Plants for Pollinators status.
