Pink-tinged buds open as deliciously fragrant white flowers in late spring - masquerading as a Daphne in scent (truly a rival) though much less finicky in the garden. Unlike Daphne, it's deciduous; the fall foliage develops a rich red-orange-purple hue as it ages. And the flower sepals, blushed pink, also have ornamental value on this underused shrub. Let it assume its natural habit, or prune it regularly if you have summer moisture. Frankly, it can look rather awkward if pruned only on occasion in humid climates.

In our area, this shrub blooms just in time for Mother's Day and lasts for around three weeks. It has a longer bloom time than the other main spring scent-sation, Viburnum carlesii, the arrowwood or Korean spice viburnum, and its hybrids.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
