Product description
Viburnum tinus Purpureum is an evergreen shrub with some very attractive features to bring into any garden. New foliage appears in a lovely bronze colour, before eventually transitioning to green as the plant ages.

This variety is sure to bring character, brightness and a nice fragrance to any area of your garden, whether that be in a border, pot or container.
Viburnums are great plants for any level of plant lover to grow due to their low maintenance nature and colourful end product. They can be placed in full sun or partial shade. Most soil types are suitable, as long as they are kept moist and well-drained. Most varieties are drought tolerant, therefore they need minimal water.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Prune viburnum after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Remove dead or damaged branches to promote better air circulation and a healthier plant.
How to Water
Water viburnum deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, they’re drought-tolerant but benefit from occasional watering during dry spells. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-draining, fertile soil. Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball. Place the plant, backfill with soil, and firm gently. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch to retain moisture. Space plants 120-180cm apart.
