Description and General Information

• Botanical Name: Viburnum tinus 'Eve Price'

• Height and Spread: Grows to around 2–3 metres tall and wide, though young plants supplied at 40–60cm will establish steadily over a few years.

• Foliage: Dense, glossy dark-green leaves that provide year-round structure and a reliable backdrop for other plants.

• Flowers: Bears clusters of small pink buds opening to white flowers from late autumn through early spring, adding welcome colour to the garden during the dullest months.

• Berries: After flowering, clusters of blue-black berries form, adding extra ornamental interest and providing food for birds.

• Garden Uses:

  • Excellent choice for hedging or screening due to its dense growth.

  • Works well as a specimen shrub in borders or mixed planting.

  • Great for containers, especially near patios and entrances where flowers can be enjoyed up close.

  • Attractive to pollinators and birds, making it ideal for wildlife-friendly gardens.

Planting Conditions and Best Location

• Light Requirements:

  • Thrives in full sun to partial shade.

  • Tolerates shadier spots, though flowers more profusely in brighter areas.

• Soil Preferences:

  • Prefers fertile, well-drained soils.

  • Grows well in loam, clay, or sandy soil types.

  • Can tolerate a range of pH levels, from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline.

• Watering:

  • Keep well-watered during the first season after planting to help roots establish.

  • Once established, it is generally drought-tolerant, though occasional deep watering during prolonged dry spells is beneficial.

• Best Location:

  • Plant in mixed borders to provide structure and long-season interest.

  • Suitable for foundation planting, softening walls, fences, or driveways.

  • Excellent for containers in courtyards, balconies, or patios.

Care, Maintenance, and Seasonal Advice

• Pruning:

  • Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.

  • Remove dead, weak, or crossing branches as needed.

  • Avoid heavy pruning as it may reduce flowering and berry production the following season.

• Feeding and Mulching:

  • Apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring to support healthy growth and abundant flowering.

  • Mulch around the base annually with compost or well-rotted manure to conserve moisture and enrich the soil.

• General Maintenance:

  • Hardy and resilient, suitable for most UK and Irish gardens.

  • Protect from harsh winds, which can scorch leaves in exposed locations.

  • Young plants (like those at 40–60cm) may benefit from initial staking to keep them upright until established.

• Pests and Diseases:

  • Generally trouble-free but can occasionally suffer from aphids, leaf spot, or scale insects.

  • Good air circulation and healthy feeding routines help prevent most issues.

• Seasonal Interest:

  • Autumn to Spring: Flowering provides colour when few other plants are in bloom.

  • Winter: Glossy evergreen foliage maintains structure and greenery.

  • Spring to Summer: Attractive berries add ornamental value and support garden wildlife.

✨ Viburnum tinus 'Eve Price' 40–60cm is a hardy, reliable evergreen shrub that brings year-round appeal. Its compact habit, glossy foliage, and charming winter flowers make it a top choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners looking for low-maintenance beauty and multi-season interest.
