Viburnum is an exceptional broadleaf evergreen shrub that provides interest to your garden for 12 months of the year. Glossy deep green leaves, delicate pink flower clusters, and persistent dark berries make Shades of Pink™ Viburnum a welcome addition to any garden design. Viburnum tinus ‘Lisarose’ is a compact variety that grows to a manageable 4-5 feet tall and 2-4 feet wide, making it ideal for smaller gardens or even growing in a container. Viburnum is the perfect choice for gardeners seeking a high-performance shrub to support wildlife in their garden.

The fragrant flower clusters appear early in the spring and last for weeks, opening a pale pink from deep rosy buds. The berries develop in the summer and last on the shrub well into the fall, providing nutrition for birds and other small mammals. Deer do not browse Viburnum due to the thick, leathery leaves and woody stems. Shades of Pink™ is a great choice for a foundation planting, mixed shrub border, or early spring garden bed surrounded by spring blooming bulbs and perennials.  

Shades of Pink™ Viburnum Care

Viburnum tinus will tolerate more shade than most other viburnums, blooming well even in partial shade. Protection from late afternoon sun is helpful in warmer gardening zones. Provide well-draining soil that retains moisture and is moderately rich in nutrients. Fertilize early in the spring as the flower buds form to support growth and berries later in the season. Use a slow-release, granular formula for acid-loving plants. Water Viburnum well for the first few seasons until the shrub is fully established. Installing drip irrigation or soaker hoses makes regular watering easier and directs the water where it is needed, preventing excess evaporation. 

Mulching seasonally helps to suppress weeds that can compete for moisture in the soil. Use an organic material that decomposes throughout the season to add nutrients and bulk to the soil. Although the best time to prune Viburnum for shape is after flowering ends, this timing will also remove developing berries. Thankfully, Shades of Pink™ Viburnum has a naturally mounded shape that rarely needs extra shaping in an informal garden setting. 

Shades of Pink™ Viburnum Spacing

Viburnums make an impressive flowering hedge with laid-back elegance. Space plants 24-30 inches apart, center on center, for a dense planting. Shrubs planted in a garden border will require a slightly wider spacing of 36-40 inches to ensure good air circulation.
