Viburnum tinus Ball
A hardy shrub with foliage that is dense with glossy dark green leaves, which acquire a purple hue during the colder months. Masses of pinkish-white flowers are prolific during winter and spring, highly fragrant and attracting birds and bees.
Cultural
Prefers a position in part shade to full sun and grows well in most soil types, provided they are well-drained. Prune after flowering to maintain its shape and promote a dense, compact habit. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to support healthy growth and encourage prolific flowering. Generally pest and disease resistant, it may occasionally be affected by aphids or scale—monitor regularly and treat promptly if needed.
Landscape Uses
Topiary balls are ideal for formal gardens or modern Japanese gardens, though can add structure to any garden. They are great planted in clusters, or used in pots to frame an entrance or walkway.
