Viburnum tinus Spirit is prized for its lovely winter buds and long lasting blossoms, as well as its lush, dense foliage. The dark green, leathery ovate leaves serve as a beautiful contrasting backdrop to pale pink winter buds. In the spring, the buds open to fragrant, tiny white blossoms borne in clusters, which stay on the shrub for up to six months. Apart from being highly decorative, the flowers also attract beneficial pollinators. The prolific floral display is followed by blue-black berries that offer interest in the autumn and are a favourite with birds.
