"Oh, what more can I ask for on a warm April day than the ambrosial fragrance of a koreanspice viburnum? The heady fragrance nearly cloys the senses when in close proximity, but these wonderfully scented blooms can be detected over 30 feet away.
This species' beauty is not limited to just one sense, but presents itself with stunningly beautiful blooms held above dusty green foliage. Blushing pink as the buds open, they gradually fade to a brilliant, waxy white. Late summer presents offerings of clustered red fruit that fade to black, drawing chattering birds to a luscious banquet. As Demeter's apprehension leads into autumn, the viburnum withdraws into tight-clustered buds and soft brown branches not with a whimper, but a bang! Wine red foliage celebrates this species' exit into winter solitude, but reminds one of its other features yet to come.
As if this plant's beauty were not enough, its tolerance to adverse conditions and trouble-free demeanor make it ideal for most environs. It can tolerate a range of soil types, acidity, and moisture, but prefers to bask in the glow of the afternoon sun."
