Viburnum tinus ‘Spring Bouquet’ is a wonderful choice for those looking for a compact and dwarf variety of laurustinus. This particular cultivar typically reaches a height of around 4-6 feet, with a similar spread. Its moderate size makes it a versatile option for a variety of landscaping situations.
I have personally worked with ‘Spring Bouquet’ in a few different garden projects, and I have found it to be a reliable and attractive addition. Its compact nature makes it well-suited for smaller gardens or areas where space is limited. Additionally, its dwarf size allows for easier maintenance and pruning, as it doesn’t tend to grow out of control like some larger viburnum varieties.
One of the great things about ‘Spring Bouquet’ is its ability to fit into a variety of garden styles and themes. Its dense foliage and compact form create a neat and tidy appearance, making it a great choice for more formal or structured gardens. However, it also has a natural and casual vibe that works well in more relaxed or cottage-style gardens.
In terms of aesthetics, ‘Spring Bouquet’ offers a lot to love. Its evergreen leaves are a lustrous dark green, providing year-round interest and a lovely backdrop for other plants. In the spring, it produces an abundance of small, fragrant flowers in shades of white or pale pink. These flowers not only add beauty to the garden, but they also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
When it comes to care, ‘Spring Bouquet’ is relatively low-maintenance. It prefers well-drained soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade. Regular watering is important for establishment, but once established, it can tolerate some drought. Pruning can be done in late spring or early summer to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches.
