Viburnum bodnantense 'Charles Lamont' is a truly exceptional shrub, celebrated for its captivating winter display. From November to March, this Viburnum graces your garden with dense clusters of heavily scented flowers. The blossoms range in color from bright to paler pink, creating a delightful contrast against the bare stems. As the flowering season concludes, dark green, finely toothed foliage emerges, clothing the stems and providing an attractive backdrop for the rest of the year.
'Charles Lamont' naturally forms an upright, often vase-shaped deciduous shrub, making it a versatile addition to any garden. Its size and form make it an ideal choice for a shrub border, a mixed border, or even as a standalone specimen. To fully appreciate its delightful winter fragrance, consider planting it near an entrance, pathway, or patio where you can easily enjoy its sweet scent.
More than just a pretty face, this Viburnum offers several benefits. Its winter flowering provides much-needed color and fragrance during the dormant months. It's relatively low-maintenance and adaptable to various soil conditions. The dense foliage also provides shelter and nesting sites for birds. This particular variety commemorates a former assistant curator at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, adding a touch of botanical history to your garden. Supplied in approx. 4-5 litre containers.
