Laurustine

There are very many different Viburnum, and most are relatively easy to grow. They can be deciduous or evergreen, large, medium or small. Most flower in Spring, the clusters of usually fragrant flowers followed by berries, and often good Autumn leaf colours. Although viburnums prefer slightly acidic or neutral fertile soil, they are not that fussy, and will grow in most soils. Viburnum tinus – or Laurustinus – is an evergreen Winter-flowering viburnum, that bears flowers from mid Winter to mid Spring (depending on the cultivar).
Plant out pot grown plants in growing position either in the spring or autumn. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. Plant Viburnum shrubs at the same depth as they were planted in their pots. Backfill the planting hole and water well to settle the soil.
