Product Description
Viburnum bodnantense Dawn is a very hardy, deciduous shrub which produces dense clusters of richly perfumed, deep rose pink flowers which eventually fade to candy floss pink, and eventually white by late spring. In summer, attractive round purple berries are produced. Foliage is huge, ovate and toothed, with deeply scored veins which give it an almost quilted look. In autumn, this foliage fades to a lighter green and then to maroon-red, before falling away and allowing the blossom-like blooms to take centre stage. Arrowwood bodnantense Dawn boasts a particularly long season of interest, which is one of the many reasons it was awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit. It is an excellent choice for prominent borders and enjoys well-drained soil, full sun or partially shaded areas. Height 1.8-2m. Supplied in a 9cm pot.
