As you know, I planted my first viburnum last spring . . . Alas it was totally overwhelmed by the size of the datura (who knew an annual could grow soooo big in one year!) But like a little trooper, the Viburnum x burkwoodii 'Mohawk' hung in there. This year, I will make sure it gets enough light.

Your article confirms what I suspected; viburnums are perfect for fragrance gardens :-)

Thanks Victor this was a really nice informative article I’m just starting to get a few viburnums too but they are from trades so looking for them to grow into nice sized shrubs!

As we reclaim more of our back yard from overgrown underbrush and broken swingsets and holes to China, I would like to put in little accessible 'rooms', so if you'll just drop by to plant it, I think one of the smaller Viburnums sounds perfect! Thank you, Victor.

Good article Victor. Viburnums are so diverse it's hard to believe they are all related sometimes.
