Korean Spice viburnum’s most notable characteristic is the intoxicatingly sweet, fragrant white flowers that cover the shrub in spring. The pink to red-budded white flowers have a pink blush. Leaves are a dull, dark green that turn outstanding wine-red in the fall. An excellent choice as specimen, in a shrub border, and as a foundation plant. Place it where the fragrant flowers can be enjoyed.
