Viburnums are grown for ornamental flowers, autumn colour and clusters of bright berries, varying in colour from blue, red or black. Growing several in the same area will encourage a good display of berries.
Viburnum tinus 'Spirit' bears clusters of pink buds which open to lightly scented white flowers from November to May, followed by blue-black fruits. It's a popular choice for hedging.
Grow Viburnum tinus 'Spirit' in moist but well-drained soil in an open position. To propagate, take cuttings in summer.
