About Koreanspice Viburnum
The strongest scent of any spring shrub, carrying a long way on a still warm day, and the single best reason to plant a viburnum. Plant it beside a door or path where you will walk past it in April. Prone to bacterial leaf spot in wet springs; Judd viburnum is the resistant alternative if that is a recurring problem.
