Viburnums are great shrubs. Some are evergreen, some deciduous, but most have very attractive foliage. Flowers, usually white but pink in some kinds, are borne in loose sprays, often in spring or into summer, but in some species throughout the winter, in which case they are deliciously honey-scented. The flowers are followed by clusters of red or black fruit.

Viburnum cotinifolium CC6267 is a vigorous deciduous viburnum from the Himalaya, in this case from Nepal. It has rounded, textured, leathery leaves, grey and woolly on the underside, and dense clusters of tubular flowers with protruding stamens, white and flushed with pink. These are followed by bright red fruit.
