About Viburnum tinus

Edward is tall, unfussy and pretty as a picture thanks to his beautiful, lollypop-sculpted Spring blossom. A classic, if uncommon, addition to an urban garden.
Although relatively easy to care for, Ed can attract pests such as whitefly and aphids. These can be easily removed quite early by spraying a weak dilution of washing-up liquid on the affected areas.
