Comments: 
This hybrid viburnum has something to offer throughout the year: late winter to early spring bubble-gum pink fragrant flowers, nice shape with green foliage in the summer, attractive berries in fall with colourful autumn foliage. It’s easy to grow with no pests and provides a winter garden with heady fragrance from their delicate drooping flower clusters.
 
Not only does the bodnant viburnum cheer up a dull winter garden, it also attracts wildlife. Butterflies love the perfumed flowers and birds devour the berries.
 
Bodnant viburnums tend to get leggy with age and bear fewer flowers. To rejuvenate them totally remove a third of the older stems right down to the base and cut back the remaining stems by one-third right after they finish flowering.

This foliage is beginning to turn deep red in early fall.
