This winter-flowering plant boasts dense clusters of deliciously perfumed, white and pink flowers on bare stems from November to March, creating a spectacular display of colour. The ovate leaves have a bronze tint in spring and turn brilliant shades of burgundy-red in autumn. Its flowers are followed by round berries that mature to black and are toxic if eaten. Viburnum Dawn is straightforward to grow, preferring full sun or partial shade in moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Water young plants regularly until established, but avoid waterlogging. These hardy shrubs can withstand winter frost. Applying a generous mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base will help retain moisture in summer. For more impressive blooms, plant in full sun. Viburnum Dawn is ideal for cottage gardens, scented gardens, and as cut flowers, and its fragrance makes it perfect for planting near entrances or walking paths. It can also be used for tall hedges or in large containers for indoor use.
