1 Viburnum Tinus Evergreen Hedge Plant, Hardy Outdoor Garden Ready, 7.5L Root Ball

Viburnum Tinus, commonly known as Laurustinus, is one of the most popular and reliable evergreen shrubs for UK gardens. Prized for its dense, bushy habit and glossy dark green foliage, it provides year-round structure and interest. From late autumn through to spring, it produces an abundance of flat-topped clusters of small, pink-budded flowers that open to white, followed by striking metallic dark blue-black berries that persist into winter.

This hardy, garden-ready specimen is supplied as a well-established 7.5L root ball, ready to plant directly into borders, hedgerows, or large containers. Viburnum Tinus is an excellent choice for hedging and screening, offering dense, low-maintenance coverage throughout the year. It is also highly valued in wildlife-friendly gardens, providing nectar for pollinators during the cooler months when few other plants are in flower.
