Koreanspice Viburnum 'Compactum', Korean Spice Viburnum 'Compactum', Arrowwood 'Compactum'
Highly popular due to its petite size, Viburnum carlesii ‘Compactum’ (Koreanspice Viburnum) is a compact, rounded, deciduous shrub with a profusion of large flower clusters that perfume the garden with their cinnamon fragrance in spring. Opening from pink flower buds, white flowers tinged pink, arranged in snowball clusters gradually fade to white as they mature. Elegantly held above the foliage, they are followed by bright red berries, borne in dense upward clusters. Sometimes tinged chocolate or bronze when young, the broadly ovate leaves mature to a dusty dark green before boasting maroon shades in fall. A wonderful flowering shrub with a long season of interest. Perfect as a specimen or hedge. Great for small gardens too.
