Viburnum tinus Ball
Foliage is dense with glossy dark green leaves which acquire a purple hue through the colder months. Masses of pinkish-white flowers are prolific during winter and spring which are highly fragrant and bird and bee attracting.
Cultural
Prefers a part-shade to full-sun position and can grow in most soil types. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage a dense habit. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to promote healthy growth and flowering. Generally pest and disease resistant, but may occasionally be affected by aphids or scale insects. Monitor regularly and treat as 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.
