The winter bloom of the Mediterranean
Native to the Mediterranean basin, the Viburnum tinus is one of the rare shrubs to flower in the depths of winter, covering its branches in delicate pinkish-white clusters when the rest of the garden falls silent.
Hardy, evergreen, and versatile, it forms a dense, decorative hedge or a handsome specimen shrub, offering winter flowers and ornamental berries through the rest of the year.
"The Viburnum tinus blooms when all the others are resting."
