Viburnum tinus 'Eve Price'
- Celebrated for its ornamental value, this viburnum produces flattened clusters of carmine-red buds opening into beautiful, star-shaped white flowers. The overall effect is nothing short of spectacular.
- It brings essential form to the garden, adopting a dense, bushy, and wonderfully evergreen growth habit. It is beautifully complemented by its leathery dark green leaves and metallic, dark blue autumn berries, making it highly rewarding to cultivate.
- Give Viburnum tinus 'Eve Price' a permanent home in almost any soil type, proving exceptionally tough and reliable in full sun or partial shade. It is a wonderfully dependable choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
- It actively encourages a healthy, biodiverse environment for birds feasting on its ornamental berries, while early pollinators visit the fragrant flowers all year round. It provides absolutely fantastic, reliable winter interest when the rest of the garden is bare.
- It carries a fascinating legacy: viburnum stems were historically used by prehistoric archers to craft highly effective arrow shafts. An ancient, well-preserved specimen was even found alongside Ötzi the Iceman, proving its incredible utility.
