It's May 1st, and I'm sitting in the shade of a gorgeous Kwanzan cherry tree in full, glorious bloom, with the scent of the Koreanspice viburnum wafting on the air, in my Columbus, Ohio garden. Just heavenly! I love this viburnum, not only for its beautiful, abundant flowers with their heady scent, but also for its architectural branches. Just an all-around grade A shrub. Highly recommended.

I bought this from Home Depot in the Summer of 2010. It sat in the pot in came in for the rest of the year and into the following Fall. I planted it in Oct. of 2011 and, this year, it will bloom for the first time for me. It has had no problems adjusting to the various situations in which I have put it.

This is an excellent deciduous shrub for a sunny or lightly shaded spot in the garden. Mine doubled in size over one growing season. The fragrance of the blooms is delicious and potent, spicy and sweet as the name suggests. It wafts across the lawn on warm, breezy April days. I've had no trouble with pests on this shrub, unlike the aphid-magnet roses growing just 6 feet away.
Although it was slow to establish itself here in Zone 9a, the fragrance was well worth the wait. The blossoms have a sharp yet clean spicy fragrance that is complex and without a single dominant scent. The plant appears carefree and has taken transplanting without a whimper.

I love this shrub! It was kind of ratty when I bought it, but after the first year, it really took off. It's got delicate clusters of white flowers that smell absolutely wonderful -- somewhat reminiscent of cloves. I only wish it stayed in bloom for more than a couple of weeks. The small dark berries give it some Winter interest. It's been a delight to have in my garden.

This deciduous small shrub is native to Korea. It is 4'-6' tall with an equal spread, is rounded with upright spreading branches, and is a slow grower. Summer foliage is a dull green and autumn foliage is red, although not reliable. The pinkish white, fragrant flowers are born in dense clusters up to 3" in diameter on new wood and appear in late April. The fruit is red maturing to black in September.
The Korean Spice viburnum prefers well drained, mildly acidic soil in full sun to partial shade. This is a good plant for shrub borders, a fragrant garden, mass plantings, and for berries.
