Where is the best place to plant a viburnum?

Viburnums love well-draining soil and being planted in a sunny spot that will get shade in the afternoon. Soil pH levels vary depending on the variety, but they usually love soil with pH levels of 5.5-6.5 on average.

Sweet Viburnum: Fast-Growing Privacy Hedge with Fragrant Spring Flowers

Sweet Viburnum Shrub Delivers Year-Round Color, Scent & Landscape Appeal

Sweet Viburnum (Viburnum odoratissimum) is a fast-growing evergreen shrub with dark green foliage, fragrant white spring blooms, and fall berries. It’s perfect for privacy hedges, windbreaks, or ornamental landscaping in warm climates.

If you are looking for a plant that will really add a ‘wow’ factor to your yard, the Sweet Viburnum shrub is an optimum choice. This easy-to-grow shrub offers dark green accents and beautiful fall colors with minimum maintenance—a win-win situation! The Sweet Viburnum fast growth rate makes it a great choice if you are looking to add beauty to your landscape quickly!

The green foliage of the Sweet Viburnum bush is smooth textured and covered in dark green leaves. Tiny fragrant white flowers are held in loose, branching clusters that develop in early spring, are pleasantly sweet smelling, and cover the plant. The shrub’s red berries turn to blue-black and are attractive to birds, but they are sparingly produced in Florida. The red fruit appears later in the year as the plant exhibits beautiful fall foliage and gives viburnum excellent winter interest.

The Sweet Viburnum hedge is a favorite among landscapers and gardeners to use as a framing plant due to its delectable springtime fragrance. The Sweet Viburnum growth rate is also why it’s favorite – it can grow 1-2 feet per year. The Sweet Viburnum height can grow very large – up to 25-30 feet tall and 15-25 feet wide at mature size making it a nice privacy hedge or windbreak.
