Viburnum Carlesii Spice Baby™

Product Details

Small-space gardeners may now enjoy the sweet spicy fragrance and flowers of the classic Viburnum carlesii thanks to the compact proportions of its more diminutive relative, Viburnum carlesii Spice Baby™. This three-season shrub offers the same rounded, bushy form, red-to-burgundy autumn foliage show, and large, blush pink flower clusters as its cousin, but it tops out at 5’. Plant Spice Baby™ where you can enjoy its springtime perfume. A Proven Winners® variety. ‘SMVCB’ PP 25,872

With the possible exception of Rhododendron, no genus offers as many attractive and useful shrubs as Viburnum. Most Viburnums prefer rich, evenly moist, slightly acid soil and perform in sun to part shade. If you want your Viburnums to produce berries for the birds, you’ll need to plant several different Viburnum varieties that bloom at the same time so plants can cross-pollinate.
